[quote=Anonymous]I know I have a cold and distant mother. I have no memories of her hugging me beyond my toddler years or giving me any basic praise ex) great job after a sporting event or grades etc. I was always met with blank stares or annoyance. I don’t even remember a hug or acknowledgement after my HS or college graduations. However I do have so many memories of my mom smothering my brother with praise and affection. Now as I’m in 40’s I feel very uncomfortable when my mom tried to hug me and her acknowledgements feel insincere. Now that I’m a mother I realize how this was not normal. I give my kids countless hugs a day and are always snuggling. [/quote]
