I have one daughter who will express her thoughts and emotions with me openly, and the other who will not show me any of them. I was always taught to keep my emotions off from my face. As you said above, we pass some things on to our children, without the knowledge that we are doing it. The anchor to offers us hope. I would like to hope that this learned behavior will somehow serve them well in their future. That it will keep them safe against a storm.

I can relate to the wet sponge feeling When I do cry it is more that I am running over than that I am actually crying. <br />The difficulty is how do we change a habit formed over many years? And is crying on the inside less healing than shedding real tears? A therapist once told me in order to be sad or to grief you don't have to cry but you do have to embrace how you feel inside.:)<br />Hugs <br />Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.com
