[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, It sounds like you're saying this is especially painful to you because there's a real mismatch between how you see yourself and what you value in yourself, and what your DD is capable of. I do understand that and I see how it would be hard to feel a connection in those circumstances. I'm so sorry. I know other parents experience it, too, but there's such a stigma around talking about it. If you're up for another book suggestion, Andrew Solomon wrote "Far from the Tree." It's about parenting a child who is different from the parent in a way that significant to the parent. It's a long book but very engaging and well-written, so not a slog. You might recognize some of yourself in some of the profiles.[/quote]
