[quote=Anonymous]I grew up with a violent alcoholic father, and a mother who put up with it. Both of my parents died before I got married and had kids. I had therapy for years and felt mostly healed from the early experiences. But now that I have kids, I see so much more clearly how truly awful it was for my father to be the way he was and for my mother to allow us to witness it. When I put my kids to bed at night and worry that something I do in the house may wake them, I think about waking to my drunken father screaming at my mother and realize on a deeper level how f'ed up it was for us kids to have to experience that. I don't think these realizations are impacting my relationship with the kids or DH, but I may go back to therapy to talk about it. Has anyone else experienced this?[/quote]
