Pure love.

I came from an extremely abusive household growing up.. My mother would physically beat my sisters and I for no reason, or things like throwing up, dropping something, eating something without asking, etc. She told us we would never amount to anything and that we're ugly and stupid. I moved out of her place at 12 and moved in with my father.My father never beat us, he likes my sisters but always told me I was embarrassing and was never supportive..Now that I had a baby, I never had an immediate attachment to her, I loved her but I wasn't in love.. But once she hit 1 month old I fell in love with her and everytime I go to bed with her at night and she looks up at me with those big, blue eyes and cutely sucking on her pacifier and coos at me or smiles I melt. I cannot fathom how someone could hate their baby, how someone, especially the mother hate and even hurt them. I have such an intense love for my girl. It's so sad situations like myself happen to children. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2GIIHOy
