I'm notcing that as my daughter goes through certain developmental stages/ experiences, they can be a real trigger for my own past abuse issues. With T's help, I can better recognize that this is going on and deal. But it's long painstaking stuff and I don't often realize until after my overreaction that it's about 'old stuff' , not my girl's behavior.
I'm feeling pretty awful about ways I have reacted... frsutrated that it's taking so long to see and change patterns, and worried about the damage I have done.
Any advice from other parents out there??
