Reply To: What do I tell myself?

It helps to hear from all of you. Bpt, your story relieves me to hear that despite this, you turned out ok.

My child’s rejection is my rejection. His pain is my pain. I made it through school with many friends, despite my own insecurities. This, however, brings out all those insecurities, and has caused me to fear calling other mothers for play dates, for this very reason. This parent is not the first/only one to reject my child, and the more it happens, the more fearful I become of calling people.
