Accept myself, accept my son


It is almost a year since my first blog entry. In it I asked why I could not seem to bond and enjoy my son's company the way I do the others.

Almost a year later, I realize that it was because I could not accept myself. It is unfortunate that how we feel about ourselves is sometimes reflected on the way we behave with our children. I know in my case it was. I was constantly rejecting myself and I was constantly rejecting my son. In accepting myself I now accept the one person who is totally connected to me. In loving myself, I am finally capable of loving.
