Welcome, Puppeteer!
Yes, I know what you mean. The memories are yours, but not yours.
Do any of you feel like you're just going through the motions emotionally and not really connecting, like you used to?
I love my child, but she feels I'm distant - and I think she's right.
It never occurs to me to be spontaneously affectionate. I can't seem to describe it. I'm just not a complete, integrated personality. It's like I'm watching my life, rather than living it.
