>> Did anyone ever have such zero feelings for a parent?
yes, for both. But I don't know why....my T suggested I was emotionally neglected. And that's probably true, but certainly not purposely. So I feel pretty guilty for not feeling anything toward my parents/family; they could easily be the strangers sitting next to me on a bus, no difference at all. Not that I'd want anything to happen to them...But I dont know I'd be grieved or feel too badly if anything did (there's that guilt twinge again). Secretly, in my heart, I think of my T (ex-T, keep forgetting to put that in) as my mother, b/c she's given me more caring and attention and nurturing and wisdom and purity than anyone ever has. I'd never tell her that (not that I could now, anyway....Ouch).
