[quote=Anonymous]I had a much better appreciation for the physical work my mom did for us (with a lot fewer resources, no less), but got angry about the emotional aspect of their parenting. One of my DCs is very much like myself in personality and temperament: sweet, sensitive, and a rule follower. There were a lot of beatings, shouting, hair-trigger temper and using us as emotional punch bags when I was growing up. I simply cannot imagine doing to my children what they did to me, and it breaks my heart every time I think back to my childhood. I was so emotionally beaten up by them that I continued to be docile and conforming, while they kept me under their thumbs well into my 30s. The hardest part was that both of them passed away when my children were still in the infant/toddler age. I had this newly awakened anger but they were gone. I was mourning their deaths and dealing with so much conflicting emotions. [/quote]
