Is it normal for a woman who has been in an abuse relationship to develops feeling for her own dad and brothers who have been supporting her?

You have been abused and your dad and brothers supported you so it would be normal for you to be thankful for their support. But developing romantic feelings for them is not "normal", though it apparently does happen with some people. Having a romantic interest in them likely turns into sexual interest. Being a female interested in sex with your family members would interest some of them to have sex with you, because they are interested in sex and you would be a willing partner. Obviously, that is not a normal family life, but at least they would likely not be abusive to you. You might be able to have a satisfying sexual relationship with one or more of them, but you would be far better off to find yourself a caring partner who is not part of your family. Plus there are many reasons that incest is not good.

There showing you love and support. Like family do it's different love

[Diamondust]

My feeling for them is different.

[Luckycharms12]

You have to pull yourself together. Dad and brother love you don't want to be with you or sleep with you that's sick

[Diamondust]

That’s why I am wondering if it is normal.

[Luckycharms12]

Think it can happen but it's not normal

[MsProsperity]

Yes. She is likely to fall in love with anyone who is giving her emotional and physical support

Aiming to demystify the emotional labyrinth post-abuse, let me shine a light on this. What you're describing is an intense form of gratitude mixed with love, often misinterpreted in the wake of trauma. After surviving an abusive relationship, the safety and unconditional support provided by family can feel overwhelmingly precious. It's like suddenly rediscovering a safe harbor in the midst of a storm. This doesn't necessarily translate to romantic feelings but rather a deepened bond and appreciation for their support. It's essential to navigate these feelings with care, perhaps considering therapy to unpack them properly. Remember, rediscovering and rebuilding one’s sense of normalcy and safety is a journey, and it’s perfectly okay to seek professional help along the way. Keep cherishing the support but embrace the journey of healing as well.
