In reply to Want to get a pat on my back from my ex T., posted by pinkeye on April 29, 2005, at 16:00:50
Actually I realized I don't want a pat on my back. I want a hug. No well done job recognition. What I need more is a simple, affectionate, warm hug - from a human to another.. not in recognition of a job well done, or not in recognition of my intelligence or capability. I have had lots of those. What I want is a hug you give to a child.. just a sweet and affectionate one. I don't want any more of "you're intelligent, you're smart, you're capable, you deserver it, you've earned it" etc. I have had only those all my life from my dad. What I want now is a bear hug with unconditional love - as it should be from a dad to a daughter. Not in recognition of her capacity, but in recognition of her person.
Just rambling.. don't listen to me.. I think I should get drunk now. Except I don't drink.
