Babs - I get it! I'm 42, 17 years of therapy and I sat in my therapists office going on about my mom last night. I accept and I know she is limited but it still hurts and you still wish for something different.

Therapists use to tell you that you could mother your inner child and I don't feel (imo) that it works. There is nothing like a mom and either you got it or you dont!
