If you had been following my posts in the past few days, maybe you will get the answer to it too.
Tamar had said, that when I was asked to grow up too soon to be a woman, to meet my father's needs, a part of me resented that and resisted it. So a part of me was always left as a child and other part was a woman. I think something like that must have happened to you as well. You were probably asked to grow up and fill in the role of a woman too soon, denying a childhood for you and slow growth. My T told me, that I was asked to be in a woman's body long before I was ready for that, and that made me resent my own body for a long time.It is not a bad thing to be a child, a good child - as long as you don't expect others to treat you like a woman - your husband for instance. If you want to be a child, he is going to treat you like a child, and you are resenting that.
