> I second that. I feel like I'm growing up with my children too. When I go about my day and stumble into thoughts about my therapist, it makes me feel like someone out there cares about me on such an intimate level. I feel warm and fuzzy about it. And understood.

> I asked my daughter recently (she's 12) if she thought about me at school and how did that make her feel. She echoed my feelings about my T. Then I reflected back to my childhood. I can't know for sure since I can't remember, but even now, I don't feel warm and fuzzy when I think about my parents. I don't feel much of anything. I guess there's the problem.

> Daisy is right. Attachment, attachment, attachment.Wow, this was like a real lightbulb moment for me. I just had no idea at all that kids feel like that about their parents. No idea at all. I've always just felt nothing for mine (unless something bad's happening, then I feel bad). I think it's sad that I never had that connection to my folks.
