Is there really an attachment type for every child to their mother?

Can there be "no" attachment?

Is that the most lonely feeling there is?

The mother is the first person an infant encounters for attachment. Safety. Connection.

Can it be that if that connection is not a safe one, the infant does not attach with anyone?

Does that leave the infant, 53 years later, still feeling the absence of it?

What does that do to the other relationships in your life?

There's not ground to build trust on with anyone, if you have nothing to base it on.

Real safety.

When you do realize that it just wasn't there, and it was disorganized or just not there and you feel the hollowness of it -

What do you do with it?

I've pushed it aside and tried to make it right for so long.

It feels like the truth brings more distress than comfort.

This is going somewhere, and I know it, it's just really uncomfortable right now.

Thank you for hearing me.
