[quote=Anonymous]I think you need to find a new therapist.  I totally get where you're coming from. Many of us with similar backgrounds become 're-traumatized' after we have kids of our own and better understand the enormity of what happened to us in childhood.  You haven't even had your DC yet, haven't imagined yourself at that age your DC is and how someone could do to you what was done - and then imagine someone doing it to your DC.  It's horrifying.  It sent me into a tailspin like I'd never been in before.  Based on feedback from my therapist and other DCUM posts, I know my experience isn't uncommon.  From your post, I see that you're still trying to rationalize the irrational, understand the unexplainable.  You're likely going to need some assistance navigating this.  I doubt your DH is up for it.  Mine wasn't.  His upbringing was the opposite of mine and while he was a great support, he really couldn't (can't) comprehend what I was going through.

But, on a more positive note, it sounds like you've done a fabulous job in creating the life you want.  You've broken the pattern!  That's so awesome and you should be proud of the strength and better choices you've made!  Hugs.[/quote]
