Chapter 7 Post 2

During chapter seven we talked about a lot of topics as stated in my first post. While looking back and reviewing the chapter, I remembered a time when I was dropped off at day care. It was picture day at my care center and of course I’m crying in the picture. This was because my mom left me “deserted” at the place. I was so devastated they had to call my mom and she talked to me on the phone telling me she couldn't leave work and I had to stay there and to go play. After I remembered this story, I related it to the results that I got on the survey we took for this chapter. It stated that I had some sort of attachment to my mother which seems to have carried through my life. My mother is my best friend and I think it is so amazing the connections that we see throughout our lives. This also relates to the subject of separation anxiety that was talked about. I not only had that when I was younger but I still have it now. I am in a long distance relationship and every time we have to part, I completely fall apart. Although, I have out grown the separation anxiety towards my mother, I have it towards my partner now. However, I am glad about the distance in ways because it really has helped me work on getting over the anxiety I get when she has to leave.
