Sorry you're so able to identify with these feelings. It sucks, doesn't it?
The "crummy mother" hole is what I've been calling the big emptiness and pain I feel inside because I didn't have a very good mother. I sort of feel like I'm the little bird (wasn't it a bird??) in the Dr. Suess book that went around asking everything and everyone, "Are you my mother?" Only, I'm asking, "Will you BE my mother?"
I never really thought about it in those terms, but I think you're dead on about there being a transference of energy when people hug each other. I have a special friend who makes me feel lighter than air when she hugs me. On the other hand, I feel like all the life has been sucked out of me when my mother hugs me. I hope I'm not sucking all my friend's energy away when she hugs me. Maybe I shouldn't hug her quite so much, just in case.
