Children are not under any obligation to love their parents...so you would do what you do when anyone you love doesn't love you back. You stop dwelling on it and try to fill your life with positive things. Maybe your child will come around one day..may he/she won't. I think if you make your life as positive and productive as you can, that in itself might attract people to you, including your child! :) But you can't be forced to love someone if you don't..so you can't force someone to love you. It either is or it isn't. Sometimes life has some sad turns..but we all go through them to one degree or another. We just suck it up, slog through it, and move on :)

Here, again, the child's age would be good to know. Are we talking about a small child, or are we talking about one who is an adult or near adult? Many parents are not "loved" in a friendship sort of way...because they carried out, or are carrying out, their proper responsibilities as parents, not as "friends". In my view, too many of today's parents are too anxious to have an adoring "friend" in their child...and are skipping the more important conflicting parts of developing a good, sound human being first, unwilling to waiting for the "friendship", respect and appreciation characteristics to come about later on. Even if the child becomes a good human being, while not revealing the measure of love you had hoped for, take pride in the fact that you had a big hand in developing a solid human being contributing positively to this world. On that note, let me go hug the hell outta my kid...and FORCE him to love me, damn it! :-)
