Dear Wanderer:

I am trying to understand: when you sense that a woman is interested in you and you think of her as worthy, then you feel “an overwhelming sensation to stop all contact”. As you try to continue a relationship, you feel more and more depressed, feeling that something “eats into” you. When you finally end contact, you feel better, able  to function again.

“That inner turmoil is the worst feeling in the world for me”, you wrote.

Maybe it  will help me understand better if  you share about your relationship with  your mother  before she became disabled, what happened before that tragic day when you saw her at the hospital?

Did you ever feel  responsible for what happened  to her?
