I think there are alot of us who weren't nurtured as children, want to be nurtured as adults. We missed out on the mothering as kids -- I think it's only normal to want it now. That doesn't mean we should GET it. lol But I think the desire is something that alot of us have. I think we have to know how to get a reasonable facsimile of it in our current relationship.

For instance, asking to be held when we're feeling insecure by our SO isn't unreasonable. But obviously, crying and throwing temper tantrums would be. We just need to know where to draw the line.

The feelings aren't abnormal tho -- at least I don't think so. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
