That.just.sucks.a lot. I get it. I think that is a big part keeping me stuck. Deep down I know that I can never re-get(word?) what I didnt grow up with, but I dont think Ive really let it sink in. Probably because its all I want. It would make my life so different. I dont cry and just writing this and thinking about it has given me a knot in my stomach and tears in my eyes. I acknowledge that the longing and yearning for that internalized mothers love and security is there but the hurt that its not there is so deep that I think it might kill me if i really feel it. Now I get what T was saying the other day...."Struggling, you can say the words that you accept what your mother is and isnt but I dont think you've really felt it. You have to feel it." I was pissed at her. Ive been uncharacteristically upset with her the last few weeks and I cant pinpoint why. Probably because I see so much in her of what I wish my mom was, but know that I cant have all of it. I cant have that innate sense of security. bah humbug

If me: I made it up. I thought it up all by my little self. My education was in physics.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
