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?
this makes me think of when my T says babies are born innocent. they are not horrible or bad. if an infant can reject there parents why cant they just be born broken or bad
