Reply #22: Especially when they were nursing

I couldn't stand to be gone for more than a few hours. I worked 8 hours a week usually in two 4 hour stints and if I stayed at work more than the 4 hours, I had this horrible sinking feeling, like the world was ending. If it went on too long, I would become like an animal determined to get back to them. I had the feeling I'd walk through fire, brave storms or ice or anything to be with them.

Now they're teenagers, I still have it a bit, especially if they are out, and I'm not sure where they are.

I really believe that for young children, their health and well being is drawn directly from the mother, that there's a link their long after the birth.
