I've never felt like a child. Not even when I was one. I was always an adult waiting for my body to catch up. Now, that's not to say I haven't acted like a child! Have not! Have to!

I don't think of T as mother, tho she has certainly tought me more than my own did, nor do I think of myself as child (tho she calls me kiddo). But I do long for her attention, which I consider childlike, and am a little bit bothered that she sees other women and probably calls them kiddo too.

Now that I write this out, I sound more confused than I feel!
