Do you like to travel?

we're sure you've read in the past (either on here or the childhood emotional neglect), that alicia- our 9 year old part really wants a mommy.
it's an ongoing struggle, because even though we've tried to tell her why we can't see our real mom, she does not get it (well it's understandable I suppose, she is only 9)
but she wants physical hugs and kisses and tickles, it's really hard.
lately we've been trying to work out how we can tell her in the nicest way that she simply can't have that at the moment, because none of us have that kind of person in our lives right now.
we don't travel, no.
how often do you exercise?
