[quote=FBO][quote=Anonymous]I am occasionally plagued with worries about my kids' well-being - to the point that i vividlyimagine something terrible happening like DD falling and hitting her head and becoming unconscious, or a car colliding into the rear of mine and seriously injuring my kids...awful feeling. It doesn't help that we were recently involved in a car accident (though were all fine). I have a vivid imagination and an anxious nature. Anyone else go through this? It's not constant, and I can usually shake it off, but I don't know if it's a normal part of parenthood or if it's time to see a therapist.[/quote] Having the thoughts are normal. What you need to be aware of is how you REACT to those thoughts. Are you overprotective of them? Do you stifle them? Do you keep them socially unavailable to others in fear? Or do you just worry? Worry is normal. If I didnt worry like that I wouldnt be a very good father. But I also know that I worry, and MOST things are simply out of my control no matter what I do, or how vigilant I may be. Those things, I stop worrying about. Just my 2cents. [/quote]
