[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 752774, member: 4152"] Great thread! As was mentioned...Although I believe as the result of abuse by my father... 1. I too had to learn how to love myself and to stop being over critical of myself 2. After my father’s death there was a strange and powerful resurgence of painful feelings that like it or not I had to process. Of note.. 1. My unwell daughter isn’t truly able to show love consistently. She has too many mood swings. Interestingly, she does say “I love you “now and then, and not always when she needs something. It’s confusing. Nice, but...she can be very unkind and peculiar . As I said, confusing. I believe a friend or two have admonished her for not being more consistently kind to her parents. 2. Our son is usually very kind, but anxious and very rarely can express love. His anxiety can cause him to sort of not be present. He is doing a little better though and I’m very grateful for this. I’m trying to learn to be more accepting.Both are very good people at heart and it shows. [/QUOTE]
