Failure Quote by Danu Morrigan
““The truth is that when she didn’t nurture me, or meet my needs, it was because of a failing in her. I was only a little girl. I didn’t know that. I thought it was my fault. I came to the conclusion that I don’t deserve nurturing, and I have believed that ever since.””
