| the child would be very satisfied with real mature love. In fact, if it were given, the | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| diminished considerably. However, the capacity for tendering genuine mature love is rare. Since children so seldom receive | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| is rare. Since children so seldom receive sufficient mature love and warmth, they continue to hunger for | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |

| and fully aware. But this lack of receiving mature love need trouble neither you nor your life | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| but you will also be able to extend mature love to others -- to your children, if | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
| where one parent offers a sufficient degree of mature love. Even if one parent has it to | 73 COMPULSION TO RECREATE AND OVERCOME CHILDHOOD HURTS |
