I was reading on a different thread about the idea of being such a terrible infant that the parent rejects or abuses the child. I assume that the therapist then goes on to describe how adequate parents respond to their children.

In my situation, it was always put that I rejected my mother as an infant. I was not (shocking I know) all cuddly and complacent. The therapists have said infants do not usually reject their parents so it was a misreading on my own parent's part. I don't completely agree. There are unpleasant infants I have met who do not want others near them - not even their own parents.

Do others talk to the therapists about this difference?
