How can I be emotional self reliant, but especially from those who I seek approval from the most, but are least likely to provide it?

A Remission

I'm Robert Kinghorn for those who don't know me. About 12 years I met a beautiful woman. Her name was Renae and she was from Peachtree City.

Detailed definition:  F eelings: Share with your partner a feeling you experienced today. A ffirmations/ A ppreciations : Affirm your partner for who he/she is and tell him/her something you appreciate that he/she has done today.

This could be a need you just recognized or one you have mentioned before that still has not been met. Don’t skip this one. Sometimes you may have to think for a minute before you can think of what you need you can share. O wnership: Take responsibility and apologize...
