[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. My experience wasn't as bad as yours, but it was bad. Therapy helps. Being in a loving relationship helps. But for me the wound was re-opened when I had children, and I had to work through everything all over again. When I get angry with my kids I sort of hear my dad's voice, even if I'm not doing anything inappropriate, and it scares the crap out of me, and I don't know if I'm the victim or the perpetrator. I had a psychiatrist tell me that what I was really afraid of was becoming my parents, and I realized she was right, that I'm terrified of hurting my children, and I cannot understand how my dad could hurt me / my mom could ignore it (and I'm a woman, and not even remotely angry or violent, at all). And just that realization, knowing what I was afraid of, helped me so much. You have to be self-aware.[/quote]
