wild hearts can be tamed

Being a social psych major is eye opening.  it’s like the text was written about my life.  
I don’t have a good relationship with my mom, it’s not bad, it’s just not there most of the time.  I find myself always trying to seek approval from her but subconsciously not succeeding because I have never been acknowledged for any achievements.  My childhood consisted of reprimands and rarely any praise.  It sucks not being of any value to your parents/family.  I’ve never gotten the closure that I so desperately need to cut the cord and be my own person.
