Pud, you made me laugh with that computer reboot comment.
I didn’t have an alcoholic mother, but she was never emotionally available, so I did the same thing you did, I pushed people away. I didn’t want people to hug me, because my Mom never hugged me. I realized it a few years ago and have been trying to change it.
I also think that I had a mild MLC a few years ago, when I was almost WAS. Maybe H still cannot forgive me for hurting his pride back then.
You are a strong person. You can be a rock for yourself and your son.
