Parents can abuse, and neglect, and be horrible, and their kids still long for their love. Here you are being a great mom, and there's no way any of that bad stuff is going to happen. I suspect that "infertility thinking" is what's got you thinking these dark thoughts... that your supposed unworthiness maybe started a long time before your kids were born? I know that's what I do - I decide I'm unworthy (or ugly, or untalented, or whatever) and then suddenly it seems the world agrees with me. When the dark thoughts recede, suddenly the world thinks I'm acceptable. Maybe it's more about you getting okay with the whole situation (and possibly healing some hurts from the past) and when you are, the whole telling-the-kids thing will be a big step, but not as scary. Everyone is different, of course, so that's just my impression. I'm hoping / praying good things for you.Joyhttp://othershoe.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
