Watching my 8th grader cry in the back seat when dumped, (he never cried) I talked him through it, all while remembering when it happened to me the only advice I got was get over it

I almost ended it when my daughter turned 9 and it all came rushing back. Shes 19 now and home from college and this morning I went in get her laundry and she’s just peacefully sleeping in her bed. I was addicted to drugs at that time and was far from peace.

Watched my boys go through preschool and realized I was already disassociating and surviving at that age while they looked so tiny and innocent and happy. breaking the cycle is my greatest achievement.

I felt this way the moment I held my firstborn. I dont remember a time when everything wasn’t somehow my fault.

My daughters are the exact age I was when my whole life changed and my world was crushed completely. They’ve never had to learn the hyper vigilance I did, or how to gauge how their parents shut the car door. Needing to listen to the footsteps. I am so fucking happy they’ll

My kid is 7 and he acts like a complete fool and I get so frustrated. Then I remember, he’s only 7 and he’s not worried about how hard he is going to be hit or how long someone is going to scream in his face. He doesn’t worry about being unfairly punished for something he didn’t do. He isn’t learning how to gauge his parents’ emotions to determine if he is safe or not. He isn’t worried about if his dad is going to go on a binge and blow all the money and then have to worry about whether or not we will have electricity or hot water or even a roof over his head. He just gets to be a kid.

watching my child be carefree and confident to be himself at an age that absolutely shattered me is bittersweet. it was so easy to give him that childhood that I wont ever understand why my parents couldnt do that for me...and Im so happy he gets to have that. at his age, I was being beaten, starved, neglected...and at his age is when the state took me. I was already so broken by his age, and all he's known is love and protection. I wont ever recover....but it stopped with me.

my son being able to enjoy childhood, heals what was broken in mine. so I smile with mixed tears behind my coffee cup as he still sits on my bed to tell me any and everything. so incredibly blessed 🙌

I am so very thankful they don’t know now what I knew when I was their age. They have never had to struggle the way I did, for that I am proud. I am doing my best. Breaking cycles. Just doing my best. I am not perfect. Just trying to be better for them. They deserve it 💗

My oldest is 19. I had her at 19. My youngest is my carbon copy. I see how my life could have been. It’s a mixture of jealous and pride. They have no idea how far I’ve come. None. No yelling. No eggshells. There’s always food. Always money. Always safety.
