They simply have a feeling that something isn't right or that something is missing and no matter what anyone says or does, the feeling remains. “Now you are forced to cope with the loss of the love and attention of your parents that were uniquely given to you and that you depended on, perhaps even took for granted.” (CarolStaudacher, Beyond Grief Author, January 1987.) Those feelings are nothing like that
