My mother nurtured, I nuture, my daughter...not so much. If nuturing is learned by example, then I am at a loss to say why she does not.
I have a difficult time accepting others being nuturing towards me...maybe I put off that vibe to my daughter....but I see it expressed so little towards others also that I wonder if it is simply her age or she truly doesn't "feel" like people need care and concern.
I have always been sensitive to others needs...their pain and suffering if you will, maybe you have to be able to reach outside of yourself to nurture?
I will be back...
