[QUOTE="newstart, post: 752770, member: 22416"] Copa, Your post had me thinking. My mother favored my youngest brother and most of her love went to him. My grandmother lived with us, I was her favorite, I knew this and I felt it. I felt deeply satisfied being loved by my grandmother. Her love for me was so genuine and so God like. I think since I have experienced such a strong sisterhood with her I know how healing and wonderful that type of connection can feel and I would like something like that with my daughter but I do realize that she is who she is and her and I are not my grandmother and me. My son and I had a deep love for each other, I saw it in his eyes and body language and how he thanked me each night before he went to bed for being his mother or telling me how much he appreciated any little thing I did for him. With my daughter for many years I just got used and the bird shoved in my face. My daughter has grown some the past few years, and I get bits and pieces of love and the degree depends on which way the bipolar is swinging for the day. To have constant deep nourishing love on a regular basis is truly healing. I have it with my husband, had it with my son and my grandmother. I keep trying with my daughter and have to learn to be satisfied with the bits and pieces of twangled love I get from her. Somedays it is just not enough. Copa, I am so sorry you felt left out by your mom. It must be very painful for you. Add the grief with your son. My prayer is for you. [/QUOTE]
