[QUOTE="Steely, post: 451754, member: 3301"] You guys are very insightful. I think the worst part of this, is that I feel like the "over-emotional" one. Then I feel bad about myself for having these "feelings" when my mom doesn't. Part of that was how I was raised - I was the only one who quote "wore their emotions on their sleeve" - and I got criticized and belittled for that. It took me YEARS to realize that I was tough as nails - I just felt things deeper than others - and that was OK. But now, I am feeling that belittled feeling again - like - "get over it Steely, seriously, what is your problem" (my Dad talking to me). I find it hard to accept both types of grieving as normal. I seem to vacillate between me being in the wrong, and then my mom. I tend to take more of the blame though, I have a hard time crying for my Dad when I know she is not. It doesn't seems right. AKA normal. [/QUOTE]
