Is it a sin to dislike your own child?

Question

Thoughts? He’s two and I felt this way as soon as he was born. Something inside of me…I don’t know.

Answer

I would see a therapist. I do not think this is normal to feel this way for this long.

Answer

Good for you for having the courage to even ask the question (anonymous or not). I would definitely seek help from a therapist as others have mentioned. You wouldn’t want your child to suffer for these feelings you’re having. Good luck and I hope it gets better!

Answer

I don’t think is normal at all, specially if you always felt this way.

Answer

Wondering if you can edit to add a little more detail?

Answer

I had PPD with my first and only started bonding after she turned 1. It's sort of "normal" in the sense that some go through versions of what you are feeling, but it's terrible and you don't have to go through it like this, a therapist can help.
