| ea774b4 | "I was a very lonely child and it's funny but the first word that comes to my head is "starved". I felt starved of affection, starved of love and I felt that it wasn't OK to ask for it. Maybe there was a sense that if I deserved it, it would be there. There must be something I'd done which meant I didn't deserve it." -- | eating-disorder emotional-neglect lack-of-love self-blame starved starving unloved unmet-needs | Carol Lee |
