If you are a parent and love your children you know what love is. Some parents love their children unconditionally, some parents love their children but place conditions on that love, and some people do not love their children. If you love your children you know what love is, if you want to be loved you must have an idea what love is for you. Love like most good things in life requires nurturing otherwise it dies. May be this is why so many middle aged women are able to allow themselves to deal with childhood issues when they no longer have to nurture their children, they need however to nurture themselves, using some of that love they had for their children on themselves, maybe that’s not easy, but it should be possible, one cannot have forgotten how to love if once you have done so?
