I cried — for you and for me.
I am reading “Getting the Love you Want” which deals with how childhood trauma is reflected in your relationship (with a spouse/partner). Some good exercises that help you heal that as well.

For months … no… for years, I have been made to feel like a bad wife for not wanting to be touched by my husband after long days spent with our kids (4, 5, 6) because they demand so much of me when they are all home from school … No more guilt! I will talk about this with my husband in the hopes that he understands why I may not want to be touched.
Thank you for being so honest about motherhood and so vulnerable. You have been a blessing to me. So glad I found you!
