It's hard. I feel broken.

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. ((((((((((( jennie ))))))))))))

Jennie, yes it is hard, Realising it happened to us and not them. Even when they have friends round its hard.

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.
