[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to see what your children will.sau about you in 25 years?   Believe me, they will not consider you perfect or even close

Huh? Nothing in this thread suggests anyone thinks of themselves as perfect parents.[/quote]

I'm one of the PP that had an abusive childhood. I've noticed folks that say things like this are either unfamiliar with what a bad childhood feels like and have no empathy, or are in denial of thier own bad childhood. I spent decades trying to deal with the abuse piled on me as a child. I'm very flawed as a parent, but I'm pretty sure my 22 year old daughter loves me. We have a great relationship, and I'm surely not going to act how my mother did .

One thing I did that my mother didn't do- I apologized when I screwed up.

I'm grateful I can actually semi function and be a parent after my childhood. I'm grateful that my child and I have a special bond. It makes up for a lot. But believe me- I'm not grateful that I don't have a real mom. If you haven't been in my/our shoes, PP, you've no idea the pain. [/quote]

Even if our experiences differ, it’s natural to feel empathy for someone who suffered. Something is wrong with people like the previous PP who choose to insult the victim.[/quote]
