[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am just curious as to what I am missing.  My mom is judgemental, distant, and highly religious.  I have been in therapy for four months now to combat a long standing eating disorder (bulmia) and am just now starting to be able to label and acknowledge many of my feelings.

It is overwhelming how sad I am today that I don't have a mom who has ever really cared about me.  I am just wondering what it feel like to have a close mom and hopefully be able to cultivate that type of a relationship with my childen.  [/quote]

Wallowing in self-pity benefits no one.  She must have cared something about you because she didn't abort you, fed you (BF or FF), changed your diaper, and other things.  You will be an overbearing mother if you keep this up and your children will be equally as miserable as you.  There is some good in everyone's life, look for this and keep it as your focus.

This is really unhelpful advice, even if you were just going for the tough-love approach.

Not aborting a kid doesn't mean you care about it- do you ever watch the news? And since your definition of caring about someone just means that you don't physically neglect them, I don't think you are emotionally well enough to give advice on this topic.[/quote]

Agreed. Plain nasty advice.[/quote]
