[quote=Anonymous]I feel major mom guilt for my oldest child. I didn't handle the introduction of her new sibling well. My oldest and I were very closely bonded. But when I was pregnant with my second, everyone was telling her that once the baby was born, mom was going to be busy with the baby so she would have to leave me alone. And once her sibling was born, it was like I was 100 percent responsible for everything around our newborn, and everyone else was taking care of our oldest. It taught her that she couldn't come to me anymore. It was an early rupture in our relationship. The dynamic just kept carrying on - especially with DH and I. She became much more closely bonded with DH. And I feel like I never got it back, because I feel so distant from her, and she's now almost a teen. I'm wondering if I should apologize or if it's too late. I know she mostly doesn't remember, but I just wonder if it would help. [/quote]
