If you have read my first post here, you'll know that I had a very mean stepmother growing up. I sometimes worry that I will be the same way to any children that i might have in the future. Do you ever worry about that? I certainly wouldn't want to put a child through that, and it has gotten to the point where I honestly don't know if I ever want children, because I have no idea how to be a mother to them.

I was just curious if any of you have dealt with this and ended up doing just fine, or the opposite.
