That you didn't have to hide behind any masks or pretend that things were ok. That you felt that safety that they would never ever use anything you told them against you and you could call them up when you were having a hard time and they were allowed to hear your tears or anger or pain and they were just there for you. Don't you ever wish you had someone like that? Someone who could come over and just hold you when you cried and take care of you..........someone who could hold your hope for you when you feel you don't have the strength to hold it yourself.

sounds like what our mum's should have been but weren't. honestly can't imagine anyone like that in real life, but have heard other MM folks describe support people like that so they must exist somewhere. can imagine it would be nice..
