Hello. I m wtt till next year. My husband and I talk about children a lot. Both want them. But I was a child of abuse. I m not scared to have a baby or taking care of them . I ve been taking care of children since I was 12. I m scared of being like my parents Were . I could never see myself hurting a child. Is my fear irrational?
indifferent feeling.

A lot of people who were abused as children tend to fear how they will treat their own, but I promise it's possible to break the cycle. I suffered heavy emotional abuse from my parents growing up and I think that I'm a fantastic mother to my DS. Have confidence that just because your parents were that way that it doesn't mean that you will be the same kind of parents. You are your own person and if you have the will to be a better and different parent then it will happen.

Is not irrational at all, I'm sure you'd be a great parent but maybe if you havn't you should get some help to deal with there feelings to know you are not your past?
