Happy Mother's Day, Mouse!

We all have an inner child. Even as we 'heal' the child is still there... however, like you, we have to learn to function in a more adult-like manner. I admire you for taking this on. I know that I am nowhere near this yet. It is so understandable for you to mourn the quieting of the child-- to feel like you are not going to be special, cared for. Yet, at the same time you are starting to accept it, even if it doesn't feel great. Your T will still care for you. Both the child and the adult aspects of you. She will care for you as a whole person. And soon, you will care for you like that too.
