[quote=Anonymous]Having kids also made me see how important being healthy is. In my childhood household, the yelling and emotional abuse went on until I left the house, and then again every time i came home as an adult, so it is front and center in my mind. In my current household, we live in peace and have for a long time. I think that's the childhood my children deserve and will remember, although in the early years, I yelled more than I wanted to, i think from lack of sleep. Not as bad as what I experienced growing up but more than I wanted for my kids.

I also got physically abused in a way that my mother in particular is really ashamed of. She hit me and my siblings in the head so hard we literally couldn't see for several seconds at a time. But she is in "deny, deny, deny" mode which is basically a source of ongoing pain, plus the ongoing craziness she dishes out.

I am estranged from my family. It's the healthiest thing I could have done and wish i had done it years ago, before i had kids.[/quote]
