I remember as a kid, my mom was all over me when I was sick. Too much, in fact. But I understand now that it had to do with her anxiety problems. I remember the comfort in getting sick as a kid. Because the rest of the time, she was not present as I needed her. Always napping, watching TV, addicted to the internet, etc.

I'm telling you, we had the same mother! We didn't have the internet when I was a kid but being sick meant she was attached to my hip. Not sick? she was napping, watching tv...yelling at me if I startled her...
