" insecure attachment to both parents due to chaos as well as isolation. "

Hi everyone,

I wasn't able to participate here regularly in the last few weeks and have been

reading through the posts, so apologies for coming late to some conversations.

Anyway, Lavender, when you wrote the quoted portion above, I had to stop. That

sounds so much like my upbringing. I have a special interest in attachment; I

truly feel like I'm missing that chip and have to make a conscious, intentional

effort to connect with people and to attach. I feel like it just didn't happen

between my parents and me.

Or my brother and me. I'm just not an attacher and people view me as cold or

distant sometimes. But it's just how I am.

I'm not sure if it was chaos in my FOO as much as it was isolation.

I don't have any answers in regard to insecure attachment; just wanted to say I

very much relate to it.
