Love this one. Think its meaning is pretty clear; she grew up with a crappy father who I'm interpreting cheated on her mother or something equally shitty. She talks about her you'd think this would deter her from bad men, and bad relationship behaviour but her "Freudian fate" means she finds herself pursuing equally unhealthy and immoral relationships in the form of sleeping with a taken guy - this is her "destructive side" which has "grown a mile wide" and become a really dysfunctional routine form of behaviour for her - she can't stay away from the lure of the immorality of it all; "animal aggression is my downfall"
