I am totally new to this site, so if I have posted this in the wrong forum...I'm sorry.
Here's my problem. I grew up with a very ill mother, I took care of her....really my whole childhood was wrapped up with taking care of her. I loved her, and I still do. She has been dead for ten years now. When I was younger I always dreamed of a mother who would take care of me. I would look for ppl in my comunity who I thought would take an interest in me. I'm in my late 20's and I still do that. I am constantly trying to find a mother figure that will nuture and guide me. I am very good (or so I think) at hiding this to the "mother figure" that I am seeking. It never works out...they don't swoop down to help me the way I want. I know it's foolish...I even expect the disapointment. But I still can't kick this habit of desiring a mother. I am so tired of this, and I want it to go away, but I don't know how to make this stop. If anyone could give me some advice...I would greatly appreciate it! Truly...this is wearing me out! Thank you in advance to all who respond!
