There's a Dutch psychologist who specializes in the lasting effects of trauma. One thing he talks about that I just love is the idea that every child has the birthright to be adored! He's absolutely right, and as a mom, I hope every person who sees this realized that that applies to you! You had the right from birth to be absolutely adored, and I'm so sorry if you were denied that right! You *deserved* to be adored, and you still do! 💗
Alas, not everyone is capable of adoration. I've never adored anybody.
@@robynhope219 And I know that, in this world, that can be an incredibly difficult and judged reality to live. My hope for you is understanding in the people around you, and grace and compassion from yourself. It still doesn't change the fact that if we choose to bring a child into the world, they deserve no less than to feel adored. As a parent, I believe that it would be my responsibility in that situation to find a way to show adoration to my children, even if I couldn't feel it internally. Would it be easy? Absolutely not! It would be incredibly hard and would require support from friends, family, and community! But it would be something I would have to figure out, because there are already too many broken people in this world.
@@katestark2519 one cannot fake feelings, nor would I try. I was brought up by child hating parents. They couldn't adore me if their life depended on it...not even sure we need to adore our children.
