Is it bad that i crave a more nurturing and caring mother? (read below)

2 Comments

Mkay so, for a few years now, I've always found myself craving attention from a nurturing mother figure. Sure, my mother cares for me and provides me with more I could ever ask for, but it's stuck in the back of my head that I want to feel... needed? Maybe feel truly loved? I don't know. Also, it's strange to me because my father is an alcoholic, resulting in me refusing to even be within 50 feet of him, yet my mom rarely does anything to upset me. He was never there for me, but she always has been. I'm not too sure why I don't crave that nurturing feeling from a father figure. Ahhh it just confuses me and leaves me kinda sad.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Get to know your mom as a person. I think your feelings will change.

    What is it you feel you need that you're not getting? More hugs, more time with her listening to you, fun outings, what????

    Do you mean she looks after you in a material way, but without any or enough physical affection?

    If you can be clearer with yourself about what you feel you're missing, maybe you can ask for whatever it is?

    any

    physical affection, or what?
