Ds is 6. He’s not the bubbly, cute or witty kid my other children are. It’s not that he doesn’t behave or whine more than other kids, but he’s just not charming. I feel terrible about it, the guilt is eating me up. I try giving him lots of attention and love, but I feel like it’s so fake. What is wrong with me??? A mother is supposed to have unconditional love to her child?? Crying

Talk to a therapist
There could be something about him that triggers something in you from the past that’s painful

Don’t feel guilty. Face your honest feeling. Don’t fight it. You must need this for your tikkun. Once you accept your feelings you’ll be able to work on loving him and liking him from a deep place. It will take work.

That must be so hard. How did you work it out knowing that reality
