> So questions to those of you who have hated or who do hate a little one inside...
I don’t think I have answers… just more questions…
> *why do we hate them?
Because they remind us of our weaknesses?> *why can't they be weak?
Because we want to be strong and they remind us of times when we weren’t?> *why do we expect so much of them?
Because we expect too much of ourselves?> *why do we shove them away?
Because we are afraid of what they represent, or what we can learn from them?By the way, from everything you’ve said before, even though you may find the little one frustrating or scary, you don’t seem to hate her. You’ve treated her with a great deal of love. Maybe *she’s* afraid that you hate her, but I have high hopes that she will learn to trust you, because you seem to be inclined to offer her support and understanding. :)
