Experience and expectations

I used to have such abandonment issues that I wanted someone to promise they would never leave. Now I don't need someone to promise they won't leave I need the security of someone who will stay until they are unable or unwilling to treat me right. 

It is amazing how age changes your idea of security.

I really thought that losing a parent would send me off balance, making me feel as if I am alone in the world.  It has made me realize that I lost my mother a long time ago.

The night my mother died I kept expecting her to come and see me.  I asked my best friend if she had experienced the same thing.  She said yes but it was about 8 months after she died.

I guess I will be waiting.
