In reply to Emotional attachment, eh?, posted by Karen_kay on February 16, 2004, at 17:07:11
I think maybe your just used to Shorty's constant suicide attempts. It's probably becoming common-place for you. I don't think it means that you aren't able to form emotional attachments. You seem to have obvious concern about her attempts. Could it be that you are just not an overtly emotional person? People accuse me of being cold and distant, when I feel warm and close. I just don't openly tell people all the time how I feel about them, unless they ask. I feel like I don't really need to mention anything, my actions speak for themselves. Of course, I've had boyfriends who accused ME of not sharing enough emotion, feelings, etc. Isn't that a change in stereotyping! Usually it's the women who accuse their bf's of things like that. But, that is me. I think you have an emotional attachment to Bubba and to your old man. Maybe we should look up the clinical definition of what an emotional attachment is. Perhaps we both me the criteria and just don't know it. :)
