[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 243265, member: 84"] I've always been the same way. My Mom wasn't one to ever show affection.....at least to me, I can't be sure with the other kids, but I never saw it. Gramma and my aunt used to hug and kiss me alot, though. I'm fine with kids, grandkids, and used to be with husband. I didn't even go so far as hugging friends unless it was a situation that really really called for it. And even then it was extremely uncomfortable. mother in law blew me away the day I met her for the first time. Yep, I didn't even make it inside when I got a big fat hug and welcome to the family. Seriously, I had to fight the urge to run. Fortunately mother in law realized it made me uncomfortable and it was many years before we hugged again.......once our relationship had grown very close. And thank God father in law never tried, I think I'd have died. lol (seriously) I'm better than I used to be, but for the most part......hands off. I don't want to be touched, hugged, or kissed. Actually, if you get to far inside my personal space at all, you're likely to hear about it. lol Because of the sexual abuse of my childhood, touching for me was never a good thing. That coupled with Mom never showing affection....just reinforced it. And I guess it's so ingrained in me now I just will never really get past it. I also taught my kids they [B]never[/B] had to give or receive affection from anyone they didn't want to. And I backed them all the way whenever they felt uncomfortable and didn't want to, even if it was grandparents. I do the same with my own grands. If they don't feel like giving me affection, then that's ok. Know what I mean?? Wanna know something weird?? I've been hugged more by my mother since I was run over by the truck 5 yrs ago than in my whole life. And it still creeps me out. :rofl: [/QUOTE]
