[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say yes. I have a friend like this and her kids are definitely impacted by her anxiety. I had to work really hard to get over my anxiety I never knew I had. It took years of therapy for me to realize my mom was always in an anxious state and it made me think that was how people typically operated so I was always in an anxious state. It was a very familiar feeling to me so I didn’t realize how much it was impacting me. I still get anxious sometimes like when we travel and I have to work very hard to reframe my thoughts so that I don’t rile up my son since he’s taking my cues. My friend is highly anxious and her kids have gotten progressively so but she doesn’t see it since it’s her comfortable place to be. Good for you for reflecting on yourself. That’s not always easy.

I just read your title question and I didn’t mean to respond “yes” in an absolute way like that. Just saying your own anxiety is something to think about and it may be impacting your kids. It’s not ruining your kids. -PP[/quote]
