Reparentification (noun)
Pronounced: /ree-PAIR-uhn-tuh-fi-KAY-shun/ Definition: The self-directed process by which an individual, often a formerly parentified child, provides themselves the emotional nurturing, guidance, and protection they lacked in early life—thus becoming their own parent figure for healing and future growth.
Reparentification saved me because nobody was coming, so I had to become my own parent and protector.
Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.
Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.
Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.
