Normal
I think you are normal too. I have felt intense hatred for my difficult child 1, never mind not liking her. Now she is on her own and I like her despite herself. I get to see the "good" side and don't have to deal with the bad anymore. I can now love her and like her. I sometimes hate my husband with an intensity that astonishes me--I think the more we love someone the more we can also hate them! Jane
