Unhappy Woman admits that she has never loved her 11 year old daughter

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...-daughter.html

As I read this, I didn't know how I felt about it. Part of me wants to commend this woman for sharing how she feels. Part of me feels sorry for her. ALL of me definately feels sorry for her daughter. But then a bigger part of me started to get angry, because not only did she wait 11 years (and because of that, feels it is "too late"), but she wrote an article to be published on the web! How is her daughter supposed to feel if she ever reads that?

I can certainly understand post partum depression. I went through it. But I recognized it and got help for it. It would kill me to live with that guilt for as long as this woman has. 11 years is too long to wait to get help. Its just too long. And possibly unforgivable.

What do you think? Is the article more hurtful than helpful?
