31. My child hates me
Many parents go through the "I hate you" phase. When raising a child with attachment difficulties, this can be tenfold.

Although we may develop thick skin, it's not easy.
In this episode, let's discuss the reason behind the words, the walls we build as parents, and some strategies to build a connection, no matter what your child says.
