[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you’re a crappy parent in entirely different ways than your parents were crappy, and you’re A-OK with that outcome because you are aware of the differences?[/quote] No, I’m not okay with being like my parents. I try to not be a crappy parent - what else am I supposed to do? Does talking about how my father is a highly dysfunctional adult child of an alcoholic who didn’t ever come to any of my sports games REALLY have any bearing on how well I handle my kids not putting their shoes on when we’re late for school? I feel like it’s just adding more stress. [/quote] So go to therapy (or go to a parenting class, or read a book, etc.) not to dig into your feelings about your dad but to work through the day-to-day stress of parenting. You might benefit from therapy not in order to focus on your dad, but because you had the dad you had, and now you're having to make it all up as you go along.[/quote]
