Losing your mother at age 10 would certainly heighten those feelings. Learn to let go and reveal a little bit of yourself each time you're with someone. We all know no one is perfect and that we all possess human frailties.

All the best to you!
thanks for your words... I feel stronger each day and know that I will get through this. G
