Thank you for sharing so much. I've said it before but parenting is so complicated. My therapist tells me that it is important to let myself acknowledge the love I did get from my dad, especially when I was really young. Girls do need their daddies, but they need their daddies to have strong boundaries, kind of like good therapists!
What strikes me is your wanting to be wanted. I worked hard to be invisible but there is this longing now to be seen -- really seen---and wanted anyway. I think that might be one of the primary reasons therapy is so important to me. I'm letting someone see me, the real me, and so far he hasn't sent me away or asked me to hide anything.
I asked Tamar, but I'll ask you too...how are you able to distinguish your feelings as "purely" sexual and not love? And what did your therapist say when you whined at him about being a cliche?
I bet he said you are uniquely you...and for that I'm grateful.
