> Lorraine, perhaps you can identify in terms of embracing your eight year old.Oh, yes, (Lorraine, here) this inner child of mine was so needy and clingy and weepy and weak and sad, I just couldn't stand it. It took me a long time before I realized that my job as the adult was to protect her and that I could do that and then just to open the pipeline and acknowledge that part of myself.
