[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to let it go. At fifty this is weird. Are you going to carry this with you into your 80s? Read the Bhagavad Gita and learn to accept and move on.[/quote]

As$hole.  No.

How old are your children? [b] It is not unfitting for one or more of them to take this nurturing role toward you as they enter adulthoo[/b]d.  It might be something to talk about with your husband and them at the appropriate age.

I've had extended family who doted on and cared for their very appreciative mothers and it is a beautiful thing to see.[/quote]

NO!  You do not dump your crap on your children.  They deserve to live their lives and not carry your guilt around, as evidence just read some of the disasters that are adults on these boards.  Most of them work very hard to shield their children from childhood memories that aren't pleasant and they CHOOSE to move forward in a positive light for their own mental health.  Op is tuck in self pity mode and has clearly chosen to be this way for her entire adult life.  Poor pitiful me, no one pays enough attention to me.  I think it's great Op had therapy but if this is where you are at age 40 or 50, find a new therapist.  Op's husband clearly walks on eggshells which is why he chooses not to be too emotional around OP but he did marry her so there's love in that marriage.  Op needs to choose better with how she sees herself and stop asking others to fix her.[/quote]

OP here and this is completely inaccurate, which you would know if you'd read my posts. I told PPs specifically that because I know what it's like to have my parents lean on me for all their emotional needs as a child, I am very careful not to do the same thing to my own kids and to be a source of stability and care for them and not ask them to do it for me.

Your response is rude and shows you failed to actually read my posts, plus you are clearly projecting a bunch of your own issues onto my situation as you have absolutely no idea what my husband is like or what he thinks. Your are just speculating wildly.

Have a good day.[/quote]
