I'm not talking about just love between your partner and yourself but children, relatives and friends. All have faults, as we do ourselves and I love them despite the faults and warts.
Pats. It's not your fault if you found it hard to love your mother, others here have the same feelings. Love does not come automatically because you are related. As I said you either love some one or you don't, it cannot be forced.
I didn't bond with my maternal grandparents. They were not nasty or cruel, I just didn't connect. Although I did respect them. I don't feel guilty about it though.
