Ooooo I needed to hear this. I had a thought today “I just never want my kids to feel they have no one to lean on” and your video popped up. Thank you for making me aware 🫶🏼

Thank you! My mom always says to me, I had it worse than you. Me as a mom I want my child to blossom in his own way and have an amazing relationship with him.

When someone says. “Well I got hit and I turned out ok/just fine” the ignorance is blinding.

I don’t agree. I did not have any trauma. I just grew up with much less than what I have now. Hence, wanting to give my child a better life.

I always say I do things I wish my parents would have done for me. My parents didn't know any better. It means we are human. We learn, we adapt, and we grow. This doesn't necessarily mean that it's a bad thing. I turned out well. I just do things I wish my parents would have done.

nope. I had a father was zero emotional skills and didn't like kids. so I married a man with a lot of emotional intelligence who is now an amazing father, because I wanted better for myself and my kids. I had to be a copy of my mom, so I make sure that my kids get to be individuals. My feelings and emotions were always dismissed as a kid, so I make sure I do the opposite with mine. I am absolutely parenting from a place of trauma but the goal is to give my kids a healthy childhood to stop the cycle. I want to give them the mental peace that I did not have.

Hmm… I disagree. I do want my kids to have a better childhood. I want them to feel heard, loved, supported. And focusing on their needs!

I had a good childhood. But, how about “I want my child to be a better person than I am?” Says the guy with a good job, no criminal past.

I don’t think parenting from a place of trauma necessarily means you’ll be a bad parent, it just means your priorities may need to be reevaluated
