[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did she ever hug you or say she loved you?[/quote]

Yes she had. And she used those words when I went to university. It seem liked she was more comfortable saying that in writing rather than in person.

I always felt that she gave weird hugs. She herself was likely neglected by her mom and much more so than me, if I even was. [/quote]

Ok no you were not neglected, she gave you hugs.  I cannot remember a time when my mom hugged me or told me she loved me.  She would ignore me if I was crying etc.

Honestly, I am not sure what you are expecting but your mother although not perfect was also not terrible.  She went through a divorce and may for a time have been dealing with that.  I would say she did the best she could.[/quote]

Sorry to hear that. The hugs she gives are rare and a bit phoney, but at least it is a hug I guess. We are not a touchy feely family and its not like she would give hugs or backrub out of the blue. She is not very affectionate. That said, if she was affectionate it would probably be for the worse because that kind of trait is not natural for her[/quote]
