How to Love a Child

Just read an informative post from another adoptive mother.  The post itself is not that interesting, BUT the comments on the post are the important pieces to read.  Click here to read them: http://www.onethankfulmom.com/attachment-and-trauma/tuesday-topic-what-can-you-do-when-you-dont-love-your-child/#.Ulv69SLD_IV

No one ever expects feelings of "non-love".  I know that isn't a word, but no other way to really explain it.  After reading 50+ comments of others who also struggle to simply just LOVE your child, well sometimes it is much harder than you could ever imagine.

I recall googling the words "how to love a child you don't like".  Sounds awful doesn't it.  As awful as it sounds, and as painful as it was to even type into the search engine...it was my reality.  And apparently I am not the only one to ever ask google such a question :(

My hope is that others reading the post may find a bit of help for their struggling situation.  Lisa did do a bit of a follow up on the original post, that can be found here.
