My mother told me she loved me all the time when it was convenient...yet her kind of love was vicious and decimating. <BR/><BR/>As much as we yearn for our parents love, in the end it has to be enough that in our sobriety we find a way to learn to love ourselves.

He shrugged and said he didn't know. It wasn't until I became a mom that I realized my parents did love me but didn't translate it in a language I could understand. For years and years and years I tried to get that validation from all over the placeHopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045801745534184703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359369755198487122.post-69974841084396215802009-03-16T00:20:00.000-04:002009-03-16T00:20:00.000-04:00What a touching story.

I did meet your Mom and I'm grateful for that.<BR/><BR/>I wonder what little 'widget' was broken inside your Pop that he never told you he loved you. I'm quite certain that he did.
