It interesting that you say this. I also thought worry equals love. It was hard when people said they don't worry about me. It felt like they didn't care. My mom never worried about me; nor my dad.

What I'm learning is that worry does not equal love. Someone can love you and not be worried. And the opposite is true: someone who doesn't love you can worry about you. It's hard still. It still feels good when L does worry. L and I are now focusing on connecting with each other over positive activities to teach me that love comes from positive things too.
