Anger and Trauma

I had to go back to the start of the listener surveys a few times to hear the listener survey whom is concerned about himself now aged 73. He is worried about seeking therapy and the wounds it would open. He is battling with drinking. He has never hugged his children, nor told them that he loves them.
I listened to this many times, the more I listened the more I felt a deep pulling in my chest and tears begin to form.

I am a product of this and to not have that love expression or those hugs was deeply affecting for me through my entire life, even now there is no one to hug me or express their parental love as it is to late.

Wish so much I could hug this man myself and see how it feels. The fact he acknowledged he is aware of this neglect is a step forward to maybe reaching out. Maybe one less drink for him and maybe one less tear.

Gosh, that was deeply powerful to hear.
