It's all about the mommy thing. Background and i apologize for the rambling....As a child of teen parents I was raised by the village, moved a lot (26x's) lived with my grandparents , dad, mom afew weeks back to grandma and then when I was 11 I moved in with mom and 5 out of 7 siblings ( full, half and step) and my 4th step dad and remained til I was kicked out at 17. I was never parented and never connected with any parent. The years with my mother were filled with abuse physical/mental and sexual and now As an adult 38 I am missing something , something so huge it creates a hole in my soul and I try to fill it with anything. I was never special to anyone and although it seems silly to not know when someone likes you.... My mind doesn't work that way, I need to hear it. You all have brought up some good points and I am sure I'll take this thread to T.
