Okay Guys!!! Here it is! The long-awaited story. I figured out how to create a photo album and all of the steps finally worked and everything.
Okay, so the wall represents my mom, because she had a lot of walls around her. The other baby is my twin sister, and the big girl is my oldest sister. I think the rest is self-explanatory.
I think this story accurately depicts my life-long search for mother. Anyone else experience something similar?

Catgirl,
I don't even know what to write right now. First, I cried, it is so beautifully written and descriptive and you are so beautiful for sharing this with everyone. If so many ways, shapes and forms, you just wrote what I never could. I know how hard it is to hear that your therapist cannot be your mom, and how much you want that, but I am so glad that you have also found a safe haven in her, where you can feel so safe and protected from hurt.
You know what comes to mind. A little girl who is know her needs and even in the face of every possile adversity, doesn't/won't give up searching for fulfillment. What a sign of strength.
Teachers, coaches, mentors, religious leaders. . . anyone I could get close enough to. . . sometimes even my kids' teachers (really?) anyone to try to be my mom. I still cringe when I think about some of the things I said to teachers to try to win them over. Your book is very meaningful.
I am so sorry for the pain you have been through, and and how you have been hurt, in sounds like in so many ways. You must be a truly resiliant person to be so caring as you are to others.
thanks so much for posting this.

It made me cry too.
Thanks, guys, for taking the time to read it and comment. I'm glad that my little story can touch others.
Where amI,
Reading that you have had similar experiences makes me feel less alone. For so long, I thought that I was such a freak and that I was the only one who was this way.

((Catgirl)) (i am still not 100 percent sure that is how you show hugs,but that is what I mean!) You are definately not alone. I can only tell you speaking for myself how much of the same stuff I have and do go through. Can't really post now, becuse I am supposed to be working, but just want you to know how similar my search has been, and that I am glad knowing that helps you.
