But it does mean that the feelings and the longings you experience are old. They are rooted deep in the past, from a time when it was hard to put into words the complexity of what you felt. So it makes sense to me that it would be all about pain and longing and would be confusing to an adult woman.
It's okay, and it's understandable. I wish you could have had that fulfillment, love, safety, and caring enough as a child. I'm not saying that your parents had anything wrong with them. I don't know. But some wells are very deep, and our parents do what they can, but sometimes, for whatever reason, it's not enough.
I wish you enough.
