WOW.. You got my attention.

perhaps there was a kindly neighbour or distant relative that managed to bestow enought "something" when it mattered??

But what is that "something"? That is what I need to know. What is that "something" I didn't get and needed. If I knew what it was, maybe I could somehow get it myself and fix it?

But then how would I find it "within" myself, when I don't even remember any interactions with parents, sister and brother when growing up. I don't know how I was raised. I was the "perfect" child, so maybe life was just going along smooth, and that is why I don't remember. But then that idea doesn't agree with what was uncovered in therapy. I don't know why I can't blend what I remember as being "a great childhood" with what surfaced in therapy. I think maybe I think too much, sometimes.

whose to say how long that will take???

Good point! Guess that is why we are all "individuals". So however long it takes to get what is needed would certainly be a personal thing. So no one can tell one how long it will take.
