Hey this is it! Emotional Deprivation Disorder Thank you!
lot of lady say that these miss out on maternal loves too. I don't think it bad for these lady as it is for mens. I feel like sometime there a whole in my heart. It is sad. But what can I do?
hopefully the lady's reading this will be cognizant, and make sure they give their chidrens all the love they need.
I can't place the title right now, but +Bishop Williamson gave an excellent talk one afternoon on LOVE. In part, he went on to say parents can actually 'love their children to death'....that is, through interference, too much attention, thinking for them, (making their choices), watching every move they make and preventing any harm to come to them, yet utterly failing when the child needs them most.
If I find the title, I'll post it here. Great insights on parenting and loving.
Hi Ivan, as a mother I have always tried to do the best, neither smother nor miss opportunities. I agree with you that boys need their mother more than girls in some ways and it must be hard for you now.
However, I am sure my children will tell you all my flaws, what I missed, what I didn't do and where I went wrong.
BUT being human we are all bound to make mistakes. For many years mothers have been pushed out to work, making it very hard on the woman to fill both mother and working roles. Your mother must have found it very tough.
The best way forward is to try to remember the good times and also, as a Catholic, forgive the faults, the times you missed. In time, you will find that Our Lord and Our Blessed Mother will fill the gap, especially Our Heavenly Mother.
Time does help to heal but you have to make a total effort to forgive.
Remember too that some have had no mother at all to bring them up. Perhaps this little consolation will help you see that you at least have had a mother.
God Bless
