Hi all. I come here because I don't like to share on Facebook where family and friends can see my post but I have a question..
I had my son 10 years ago and I was only 18 years old but as I've become a mother to 4 more children I find my relationship with him extremely difficult compared to my others. I hadn't thought about this until today but the ought his pregnancy I never once felt him kick, I felt the odd pushing on my stomach as though he was getting comfortable but never felt him kick. I also never really bonded with him as new born where's I did with the other 4. I am wondering if maybe because I never really bonded with him while he was inside me and as a new born is that why our relationship is complicated? We can sometimes get on but if I ask him to do something repeatedly and get annoyed he also becomes annoyed then claims that I don't love him and I hate him and he wants to be adopted. We've just tarted getting family support because my 4 year old has been diagnosed with Autism and I'm living on my own during the week. I don't know if he feels I pay the others more attention than him or if it's a phase. I'm at my wits end and with people coming in from different support groups and that work with social services I'm concerned it might escalate? I try to make time for just him but my 8 year old won't do anything without him, he likes following in his big brothers footsteps, they already share a birthday so it's really hard for him to have anything for himself 😪 x
