A close friend of mine once revealed to me that her sophomore son was cold to her, but he was unusually close to his aunt and uncle. This confused her. However, to me, the reason for this is not difficult to understand.
She parted ways with her husband when her son was a child. The child had tried hard to live with her, but for various reasons she was unable to secure custody. She once confessed to me that her heart ached beyond words. However, the reality is cruel, the child is sentenced to the father, and the father's irresponsibility makes the child's life even harder. As a result, aunts and uncles have become important support in the child's life.
Although she has not been able to raise her children herself, she has been financially supportive, providing living expenses and clothing on time every month. She thought that was enough, and that the child would be grateful to her for it. However, she overlooked the importance of companionship and care.
During the winter holidays, the child passed through her city, and although she stayed there for a few days, there was very little communication between mother and child. In stark contrast to this, the child communicates closely with his aunt and uncle in **. This made her reflect on whether she was really good enough as a mother.
Actually, the child's reaction is not difficult to understand. He was raised by his aunt and uncle, and the emotional bond between them is deep. And as a mother, due to the long separation and lack of companionship, the affection between her and her children has become weak.
True love takes time and effort. If you want your child to be close to you, you must first give your child enough companionship and care. In this way, the child will develop a deep affection for you. We often say that family affection cannot be parted, but the premise is to have real dedication and companionship.
So, dear friends, let's cherish every moment of time with our children and make our family affection deeper and more sincere! Don't wait until your children are estranged from us to regret it, let's start from now on, accompany and care for them with our hearts, and let love take root in their hearts.
