What if you don’t have the skills I want?

What if all I wanted was for you to love me (mom, dad, spouse, lover, friend, etc.)?  What if I tried and tried to make you love me and then you died and now I am devastated because I know it can never happen?  What if you were never loved and could not pass it on?  What if I chose you as my important person and you acted just as we had preplanned to make me stronger?  What if you were simply a self-centered jerk?
