Whyyyyyyy do I still yearn for my mom's love and acceptance?

because you're human

Because normal people can not wrap their head around those that are incapable of love especially between a mother and child.

Because it is natural and normal to keep yearning for what we didn't get when we were babies, toddlers, children or teenagers.
When this unresolved craving carries through into adult life, it becomes a problem that interferes with forming healthy adult friendships with the same gender, and can become a problem when one becomes a parent.

It can, however, be overcome through therapy. If therapy is too expensive there are self-help books.

I feel the same way and my mother has been gone now for 15 years.

We never stop needing mother love and care. I think it's basic to the human condition. We have to seek out kind and nurturing friends and we need to get good at nurturing ourselves. And we need to get used to the idea that we will always have a hole in our hearts where mother love should be.

You answred your own question. The less we get of something, the more we need it.

SUCKS doesn't it.

Compassion 4 you
Respect.😔

Slay the beast! Rule her empire!
