[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest lesson I am finally learning in my early 50s is that what you see is what you get. I've spent my whole life being pretty disappointed at how my romantic partners and friends have let me down. [b]Therapy taught me that because my mother's entire life revolved around her children, she set me up for the inevitable disappointment when unrelated adults just didn't satisfy my emotional needs the way she did[/b]. I am learning for the first time what realistic expectations are. Lesson: make yourself happy. Don't wait for friends and spouse to read your mind to know what you like, want and do.[/quote] This scares me. I am a SAHM and former teacher so I have a deep desire to help children. Could you explain how your mother did this to you?[/quote]
