Hi Anita,

I sure do relate to this, spot on! My parents (more my mom, not so much my dad) was loving towards me but not towards each other. Seeing that growing up I guess confused me and made me second guess everyone and their feelings for me. It’s so funny my dad and my current partner have very similar personalities. Maybe, I subconsciously looked for that to try and fix it, the “un-required love?” Every time I remind myself that these people aren’t your parents and they are completely different people I somehow revert back to my old self. It’s like a constant struggle to be positive and look at life more objectively. I hope one day I can truly leave this emotional self torment behind and be happy.
