Is it normal that i am attracted to men that i fear? especially older men?

Ok, I'm 19 almost 20 and I was abused my whole life. Raped, beaten, and put down my whole life. About a year ago I got out of those situations as a whole, and live with people who would never want to hurt me but I still miss that pain? Does anyone understand what I mean? It's hard to find relationships with guys because I am so different. I mean, I'm not bad looking or anything but i think my personality is a turn off. I am a very assertive person, however, I love to be overpowered and put in my place. So when I date guys it makes it difficult for them to get that hint. Does that make any sense?

    This seems like something you should talk to a therapist about.

    I mean shit, I shouldn't have said that.

    You need to move on and continue life, even if its just to help the ones around you. There are MANY places to go to get help. You are still in the sensitive concerning stage, don't make it last forever.
