I know that T can never replace your mom, but she can teach you how to be a caring mother to your little parts. You, ultimately, will become your own 'mother'...and then you will never be alone.
Many supportive and safe hugs for you.

Hi Spotted Owl,
I'm sorry to know you had a painful experience with your family too. I'm glad to hear that you've been able to reconnect. With me, I think i've disconnected from them emotionally. I still see them when they come to visit, but i have the "Everything is A-OK, I'm fine" mask on, while the real me is deep inside hiding.
I really hope my t can help me become a good mom to my little parts. I can't seem to conjure up those warm, soft feelings for myself like i can for puppies and babies, etc. I try to, but sometimes i just don't feel anything. If one day, i can give myself what my little parts are crying for inside, i will be a much happier person and maybe some of the emptiness will go away.
