Thanks Sannah. I think you hit the nail on the head. I know you're right I just dont know how to get there. What does that process need to look like? I feel like its me completely falling apart and becoming a 2yr old. Needy and emotional. I feel like I need the attention and guidance and nurturing and growing up that a mother gives her child day after day. How is that possible now? Im afraid its going to be giving in to this underlying need for T that I wont let break through. I stuff it. I play it off. Hide it. Can she give me what I need? Would she? It feels like such an overwhelming huge need. How will it not consume me? Ugh. I hate this. I just want to cry and disappear. Just evaporate into my bed or something.
