Imaof three-“He will feel connected to you because of your love and acceptance of him, not because you buy him cigarettes.”

This is just my point. He doesn’t feel my love for him for some reason. All the ways a child normally feels his parent’s love seem to be damaged, not bc I’m not giving the message, but bc his ‘receptors’ seem to be damaged. As much as it goes against my instincts, buying him cigarettes makes him feel that I accept him.
