I think my situation's pretty rare -- most moms have a special way of getting under their kid's skin. And by special, I mean "needling with guilt trips and manipulation and nagging."

who doesn’t long for a mother’s love, isn’t drawn to be wrapped up in loving arms without a care in the world, to be safe ans secure and able to move out into the world because mom will be there?

I TOTALLY agree with that mentality. Funny, I never would've dubbed them "single-minded" things, but it hits the nail on the head. Beth is gone for the week. I TOTALLY agree with that mentality.

I stop taking care of myself, devote huge amounts of time to doing single-minded things like writing music or programming computers, and just generally shirk all responsibilities. I don't think it's a mommy issue for me - she was not really the nurturing type. It's more of a "The part of me that still wants to live in a dorm and eat pizza out of a box every day will never completely die" thing.

I still feel the hole that's left since mine passed. I understand completely, Aly. Maybe it's a symptom of a greater need, but our eyes are fixed on the personification of God in the closest behavioral likeness... side note: can someone tell me why I use words of greater syllabic content when I'm commenting on <i>your</i> posts?
