hi there
i agree with you i had an unavailable mother emotionally and mentally but i don't blame her, she was very depressed and isolated herself, so me and my siblings kinda of had to fend for ourselves, what did not help was having a father/hubby who was not totally supportive of her and us kids. sadly she died of massive heart attack at the tender age of 47, i say she died of a broken heart

Alot of my anxiety and emotional issues were because of my childhood, and i am just starting to heal from that, many many years later....

take care
