Thanks muffled,
I don't "need" her to get better, but :(Is it wrong to say that I need a mom?
On the one hand, she raised me to be independent from her. Her pride that I "taught myself" how to read at age 4. Her assumption that I could find my way home from 1st grade as a five-year-old.
Can't accept that I was neglected.
ugh.
The best predictor of future behavior is how the individual behaved in the past under similar circumstances.
That is one of my psychology mantras, coming back to bite my *ss.
((((muffled))))
well, you warned me, but it was too late. I think I'm strong enough to handle this disappointment. It's certainly easier to talk to my folks when we're all pretending to be happy again. Mom sounds so optimistic about her foot surgery. Who am I to take away her happy anticipation?
