You did so great with letting yourself process through this trigger. I am so sorry you were denied that contact as a child. They say that touch is VITAL to a child. In fact, studis were done which showed children denied touch were harmed greatly. Sending you very huge hugs!!!!!
Thanks WePow! I guess I was lucky to have my grandparents who gave me affection...because I have read a couple of those studies. In fact, this happened to one of my clients. I started to write her story, but it might be rather triggering (it's very sad).

My H identifies with you there. Has no desire for it whatsoever!
