The process of learning what emotions are and how manage them was interrupted for Brian at a very early age by abuse and trauma.  Because of that, he never really learned how to identify his emotions or what to do with them.  This amounted to emotional immaturity and made it difficult for him to form healthy, intimate relationships and left him vulnerable to further abuse and trauma.
