I just heard someone say “just because you love me doesn’t mean I feel loved by you.”
Wow.

My mother used to say “Your father and I love you kids so much.” If they loved us as much as they say they did, it was tough love, that’s for sure, Lol. Seriously though, I don’t know if it was generational, or what, but my parents were all about raising us to be independent, well-functioning, contributing members of society. Warmth and affection seemed to pretty much fall off their radar. In their defence, this is hugely common, according to my favourite therapist. Ok, fine. But it took me a loooong time to recover, to learn how to love myself properly, and to raise my expectations for a loving relationship. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs and good luck. XO
Blessings,
