I know I am a grown-up now at 35, but sometimes I feel my foundation wasn't as sturdy as I would have liked it. I know now as an adults that parents do the best they can. I realize that. There are just certain things that were said years ago that still sting, and I am working on getting over them, and not let them bother me. I was a quiet, shy, and anxious kid. It was hard for me to make friends, and when I would tell my Mom that I made friends, she would tell me I had no friends. I just feel anger at her still because I think she could have been more supportive of my attempts of making friends. Could therapy be helpful?</p></blockquote><p></p>
