I do think it's interesting too, that the need to be nurtured is a common thread for a lot of us. Is that why we analyze the theraputic relationship so much? Is that what draws us to seek out support like babble? That our relationship to our T is so important?
My 11 year old daughter and I went for a walk last evening. And she commented, "I think it's funny that you don't like it when xxx goes on vacation. I like it when my T goes away, I do the happy dance." And without hesitation, I replied, "When I go away on business, even for a few days, don't you get sad?" "Well, of course," she said. "That is how it feels for mom. I feel that close to xxx. My mommy and daddy didn't make time for me." She took it all in and said, "I'm sorry mom. I'm here for you." It was a very nice moment. And I never thought of that perspective before, when I go away, this is how my children must feel.
