I only ever dated emotionally unstable women before. What do I need to work on to not repeat the same mistakes?

Hi! So, I'm 25M, I've been dating since I was 18. From early on, I found I tend to be attracted to, and attract emotionally unstable women. This has, resulted in me basically having very brief, very intense, and somewhat traumatizing relationships.

I've been emotionally abused multiple times, I've been blackmailed, I've been sexually assaulted twice by different women, and I've been cheated on.

I think on some degree, I like women like these because I feel useful, I feel like I'm helping them when I get to actually use my emotional capactiy, and empathy to help them emotionally regulate. A lot of the time though, I just get tired and extremely exhausted and tired of how much they need me after a few months.

So, how do I stop dating women like these?
