Do you mind sharing more about how you got into your interest in programming people and what exactly about it excites you?
And calling someone "my abuser" sounds so funny since that would be so weird and concerning for people not knowing what you mean by that.
I've always had a desire for control over people and assumed the position of community and club leaders, a controlling presence, a fatherly influence to my friends, the like.
While it stops there in many cases, if I grow very fond of someone, the degree of control, praise, and devotion I would want from them only became more intense. It eventually progressed into a desire for conabuse, which I indulged in on rare occasions happily for a couple of years. Eventually it progressed to urges like pavlovian conditioning, mind control, and I realized my fascination with programming had progressed from a clinical urge to understand my own trauma to a sort of longing to be on the other end in a less harmful environment, where I could make a willing miserable, hurt, or even just unfulfilled subject happy by having complete and total control over their identity, thoughts, actions, and mind.
Tl;dr, Control, devotion, vulnerability, and trust.
