I had no words for it, but what I wanted was for us to be a real family, without secrets, without tyranny, without favoritism, without manipulation, without agendas; with hugs, with acceptance and encouragement, with safety and security, with love and teaching ("nurturance" I guess is a word for some of this).

Yes, that is exactly what I meant. I can so relate.
When what you really want more than anything in the world is a need that is going unfulfilled, a material thing just doesn't have much meaning.
