Withit, I guess its someone showing us that we are worth it, thats what gives me the courage to keep on. I think for "normal" folk, this was internalised at an age appropriate time, though our need to be acknowledged by others is always there.

When I'm away from T, though I Have a wonderful husband and children, I still need that someone that "cherishes" me and wants nothing from me. Thats what T once said regarding a theraputic relationship, its different because the T isnt there needing to take anything from us. But I guess somewhere in her personal life she has had or still has a source for her own self.

Oh and that Beatles lyric isn't familiar to me either.
