I haven't met those who have missed out on a solid relationship with mother....but perhaps that's just me. More often, I find it is a father-love gap. I think that's because the real need human have (male or female) is for their heavenly Father.
I have. I think especially of one young 20 something and a woman older than I am. They've had a lesbian relationship for a long time. I believe the younger woman, who had a terrible relationship with her own mother, just gravitated to this woman who was nice to her. The older woman was married a couple of times and had grandchildren! What a world we're in.
