(((HD7970GHZ))) I can understand your need for comforting and nurturing.
I found myself at one point in my life as an adult

wanting to buy dolls and stuffed animals to recreate the feelings in my life of being a child, safe, protected and taken care of.
My family is not the type to hug or say I love you. I feel your pain and understand.
I hope your new T can help you work through these issues. Please feel free to PM me if you like. Be well.
