I remember being a small child and finding flowers in the back yard to give to my mom.

I still love my parents but there is so much standing between us now.

I want them to know much they mean to me but I'm always on guard around them.

It hurts.

beloved, it is very courageous of you to want that... I understand as I am facing something similar, my parents have blocked me from showing emotions towards them. Which is okay.

I try to not push myself to people. I express myself but I let them have their choices too.
It's truly sad and a pity, but it is part of their freedom.

Keep your precious love to show it to those you love you back in expressions, and reciprocate it.
Love your family the way you do, and allow them to receive as much of your love as they can.

Forced love is rape you know.

I am sorry. I too wish my family would magically soften and we would all be open and receptive, but they are who they are and I allow them to be, despite it is hurting me too.
