From C.T. Wow. This hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. At this point, it wouldn't matter if a woman really did love me or validate me, because I couldn't feel it anyway. Wow. I need to think on this.

This explains alot. I must have picked up on my moms depression. But how do I keep my kids from picking up on mine? maybe its too late?

Maya Angelou said all kids want is for you to light up when they enter the room. Eye contact is essential. Strokes for the kids and smiles, even if you have to "fake it to make it," as they say in AA.

I always second guess myself. Even if I am right I think I am wrong. My mom loved me unconditionally(sometimes critical). Father was always mean and he scares me. So,I had one parent who loved me and one who didn't even want me to call him father. Sometimes ,I wish it were him that died instead of my mother.

Unconditional love is not critical. Perhaps there has been damage done that you have forgotten. Mom may have loved you, but did she protect you and keep you safe. I am not trying to disparage you mom but so much of our childhood gets buried.
