Hi Mickey

I wouldn't say that parents having conversations like that necessarily mean at all that they don't love you
Sometimes conversations like that can come from self-doubt or querying whether they were/are "good enough", and you know those feelings well, right??!!
And honestly, that those things can/will come up for most parents........most parents who care..........want the very best for their "children" and love them
Won't even always matter whether their "children" have any big issues or not........it can just be one of those things that come with parenthood including times where they feel that their "child" is just so special to them in a million and one ways........and that can be priceless.
So Mickey, please don't base everything you think they feel about you on this one conversation..........and you know what, when things/relationships are difficult, when people go through hard times together..........sometimes that can make the love/bond even stronger.........so I don't necessarily think you have to assume that those feelings aren't still there 101% for you.
Sending hugs



Alison
