[quote=Anonymous]I’m in a similar position with DD8, down to losing a parent young and doing everything I can to make DD’s life more stable and full of supportive connections. I’ve read that sensitivity is hereditary, but actual anxiety and depression aren’t. So my goal is to work with her sensitivity and hopefully avoid it developing into the anxiety and low self-esteem I’ve had all my life. But there are times I wonder if it’s actually epigenetic and she “inherited” the stress of my lived experiences... I also struggle with how much attention to give to her big feelings and whether talking is helpful. My main focus on a day to day basis is to reduce her stress while always building more independence and challenge. Good luck to you and I hope we get more helpful responses here [/quote]
