Many of us don't know how to love a child. Love is taught, not automatic. Know matter how good our intentions may be towards the children we love, it does not mean we are actually doing so in a healthy way. There is no shame in struggling to love our children, only shame in not loving them. Any and all questions on how to love them should be asked. I posted this thread as a start to open this subject up elsewhere... there is struggle to act in a manner one was never taught.
