A friend of mine told me the other day that I have an emotional hole due to the lack of love in my life whilst growing up. It totally threw me off guard. Surely if I had an emotional hole before, then it would have been filled up by now with the love I get from the Hubs, Little Tee and my wonderful family and friends. Even overflowing, causing a bulge!
She said the emotional hole never gets back to what it was. She is a medical specialist and has some training in psychology. Yikes! I am flawed.
We were discussing my huge craving for attention, now as a desperate mother. I admit that whilst growing up, I did a lot to attract some attention – getting lead roles for school plays, excelling in sports, doing well at school; then rebelling as a teenager, running away from home, cutting school. None of which worked.
So does my desire for a little attention now stem from a neglected past?
Surely not? I think it is understandable that if you were a stay at home mom with only a toddler for conversation, day after day, without the resources to go out socialising to indulge in some adult interaction, you would start feeling a little……out of sorts. Especially since I used to get so much attention whilst at work, and then now, apart from being a Mother, I am really quite useless.
Of course, I want some attention!
Apart from doing what I do, I feel as though I have lost myself. Who am I?
Nobody knows me anymore. Apart from bringing up Tee, I am not contributing to society (I suppose that is an arguable point since I am hopefully nurturing a better member of society), I am not known for any skills, I am not a somebody. I just feel like part of the wallpaper.
This is what being a stay at home mom does to me.
But I wouldn’t change it for anything……..
Because I’ll be damned if little Tee forms an emotional hole!
