DS doesn't look a thing like me in any way. We are complete opposites in every possible way and tbh this makes me quite sad as I had envisioned having a little boy version of me running around. Sometimes when I look at him this sadness comes back and I feel a little like I'm looking at a stranger. It's not that I love him less or anything, he is my world.
The comments happen more and more nowadays about how he looks nothing like me. This adds salt to the wound that I've been trying to ignore.
Anyone else in a similar situation? How do you feel and how do you deal with these feelings? Do you have other kids who look like you?
