Hold Me While I Cry

Today I added this to my list of things they didn't teach me in school

"They never taught me how important it was to be held while you cry. Now I know."

I wrote those words when I was writing to someone who listened to me last night and stayed online with me when I was crying. She is helping me feel a little less insecure each day.

Here is a related file about a mother who I would call emotionally abusive/needy but who says she does hold her children while they cry.
