My friend M. had a son. The course makes me happy because I love him. He told me that, in addition to his wife to attend the birth in water, gave him the task of cutting the umbilical cord.
I never stopped to think about this very act, usually given to doctors or midwives, nor knew that fathers were allowed to do so.
It seems a gesture of great symbolic value for the newborn and herself. The father makes himself consciously and unconsciously the child that his task will also accompany him to the independence and liberation, from the beginning by cutting the deep bond - in this case, physically - that the child has with parents. Almost
an injection of realism.
One day my father told me clearly that most contribute to my INTED maintenance. I was a young adult, I had finished university. It was obviously a good thing.
I found after some 'time since its decision was useful for my personal growth. But I still hurt I was.
Perhaps, I ask you now smiling I would hurt less if my umbilical cord had been cut many years ago not by a stranger in a white coat but by himself? It 's a question that comes to mind slightly in recent days.
