I'd like to place an official "thank you" to everyone who responded to my post re: being frustrated.

I come here to be nurtured. Even though I am a "boomer woman", having lost my mother at age 18 left me high and dry. Seems as though, after all these (32) years, I still need guidance.

This place has proven this to me in the past few days. As the book "Motherless Daughters" mentions, we are stunted at the time of her death. I am, emotionally, still an 18 year old in desperate need of Mom's guiding hand. After being w/my husband for just over 11 years, I have discovered that I just have not grown up...I am needy.

So, thank you to all my "virtual Mothers" here at BWS!!! I'm still gonna need ya'll for a while!!

Thats what we're here for Di. I believe needy is a word many of us could use about ourselves, in one way or another.

If you can use any of the tips I suggested Di, well that's a thank you enough.
I'm sending you a virtual motherly pat on yur hand and a hug along with it.

I'm sending a virtual hug, too.
