> ...I really *felt* how much I love him.<<< Isn't that a truely wonderful feeling?
> I have always had trouble feeling love, at gut level. I have known I loved him, but I just have this trouble feeling it, for anyone. I don't know if anyone understands that. That for me there's a difference between loving someone and feeling that bubble of joy in the tummy that comes from feeling that love.
<<< I hear 'love' and 'loving' this time... Perhaps before I wasn't sure... 'Approval' and 'approval seeking' are feelings toooo, and are a lot more common...
I hear love this time coming from inside you! You may at times be feeling approval for this or that person and want to call it love... Not what I hear this time, though... I hear love, for your Son...
Let your Son know... Let him see you loving him... He'll be a parent someday toooo, and believe me, it'll be easier for him to love his kids after having a good example supplied by you...
I acknowledge that its easy for me to know how to love my kids because my Mom showed me a good example, no-matter-what! Instead of unconditional love, I feel love and loving, no-matter-what! 'Approval' and 'approval seeking' can never, ever be, 'no-matter-what'...
