It's pretty much what the title says. My sister, 18, had her first child three weeks ago and named it after my child that is no longer here. She asked me when she was 7 months for my blessing. My sister was very close with my son, being only 3 years apart. Now that the baby is here, I don't feel comfortable with the name. When I look at the baby, I feel angry. This isn't my boy. This baby shouldn't have the name of my son. When she talks about how much he looks like my boy, I want to cry. He doesn't. Not to me. That child... I cannot bond with him. When he stirs and cries, I don't want to attend to him. I call him baby or child because I cannot call him my babies name. I need help dealing with this. I want to bond, to love their first, but I'm not done grieving and hearing his name makes me feel like my boy is gone again. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HdpFyW
