Besides, that would be a way to find SOMEONE ELSE to fill your love tank (just a different someone else) - not a way to fill it yourself.

So filling my own tank/bank means a lot of time with the kids (which I LOVE) - they love me and aren't afraid to express that. Isn't it nice that there aren't books on walkaway children?


Closer...

Focusing on your kids is one way, BUT don't expect your kids to fill your love tank either. That is again expecting someone else to do it.

What is it about focusing on your kids that makes you feel good. Is it the fact that they express love for you? or is it something else?

Mindreading and projecting a bit here, but bear with me...

When your W isn't being supportive of you, and isn't meeting your needs, you feel a painful empty void.

What is it that you are really feeling there?

You are upset that she isn't filling the void for you, but what is causing the void in the first place?
