[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any suggestions for you as a parent, but as a child of someone exactly like you, I will ask you to make the effort for your child. My mother was like this and I have always been very touchy-feely and very vocal emotionally. The lack of physical contact with my mom, who would get very overwhelmed by it and avoided it consequently, was very hard for me. I remember laying on her lap, like a puppy, when she was on the couch, and asking her repeatedly if she loved me (I probably started doing this when I was 8 or so.) I am still that way, I believe partly because of how it was addressed when I was a child. Nowadays I have to hold myself not to ask DH and even DC if they love me, on a daily basis. Even years of therapy haven't stopped this urge (even though, and I want to make this clear, rationally I know they love me, just like I know my mom does.)[/quote]
