"I Was A Very Lonely Child And It's Funny But The First Word That Comes To My Head Is "starved". I Felt

"I was a very lonely child and it's funny but the first word that comes to my head is "starved". I felt starved of affection, starved of love and I felt that it wasn't ok to ask for it. Maybe there was a sense that if I deserved it, it would be there. There must be something I'd done which meant I didn't deserve it."
