Excuse me, but Deneb started this thread because she is feeling the loss of more comfort and support when she was a small child. I didn't get the sense that she was asking about boundaries and lectures.
I nursed my first baby for a year and when my second baby was born, a tragedy happened within the family and I lost my milk.
Deneb, I understand your feelings. I wish that I could have breastfed my daughter much, much longer.
I see breastfeeding asn a VERY individual choice and don't feel that this thread is the place to delve into mother's motives concerning their choices.
Deneb, it is never too late to have a happy childhood. Picture yourself being nurtured and also work on being better to yourself. I don't even remember being breastfed but I know that I was, up until I was around 18 months. My mother worked in the fields and had to quit because she needed the nutrients for herself.
Have you ever directly asked your mom how long you were nursed and why she stopped when she did? I recommend a discussion with her soon. :-)
