When Parental Love Feels Distant: Confessions of a Struggling Parent

Lately, I’ve found myself questioning something I never thought I would: Do I still love my 4-year-old daughter? The guilt and confusion are overwhelming. I watch her play, laugh, and grow, but there’s a numbness inside me that I can’t shake. Parenting was supposed to be filled with joy and connection, but right now, I feel lost and disconnected. I know I’m not alone in these feelings, even if it’s hard to admit. If you’ve ever felt this way, how did you cope? What helped you reconnect with your child?
