She's changed in some ways but still seems pretty unemotional. It doesn't bother me most of the time, but I'm needing some support right now and she's not able/willing to step up.
I guess it wouldn't be so bad if my dad wasn't the same way, except worse.
That indeed sucks tremendously. It's not an excuse, but I suppose mothers and fathers are often just playing out the hand that dealt to them by their own parents. I'm glad you're able to garner from support from your honey, (a very, very beautiful lady, btw) and that you feel comfortable enough to discuss heavier stuff here at times, though.
When I need support, all I'm able to do is to be still and commence with the staring off into nothing; I'm almost incapable of asking for help.
It's ridiculous.
