My Dboyfriend has talked to me about this several times, and I'm not sure how to react or comply. All of my life I've had a hard time showing affection to people I am not dating. I don't hug hello or good bye. I generally stay out of others space. I don't really say I love you to my family. I grew up in a rigid environment. I have been struggling with this a lot lately. My SD13 has not had a mother in her life since she was born. I know she needs affection, I love you's and a general caring feeling from me. I am not sure how to handle this? I know its simple but my walls seem to be unbreakable. Any one have this issue or any advice???
