Yes it is hard. To be reminded of how things were for me as a child, and see my own children leading a completely different life to the one I had. Constantly bombarded with the horror of the past, but I see the joy and happiness in my own children. Hang on to the fact that things will be good for your child too. Much love.

Yes, I can relate. When i look at my children today, I can see how vulnerable I must have been when I was hurt. It makes me want to shut down my feelings. It makes the pain and the memories so much more real. I have to deliberately remind myself that they are o.k. today because I protect them, and that it is o.k. for me to enjoy their childhood with them without the fear and agony that I grew up with. It is healing to be with them when I let it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
