[Now imagine having to relive that whole learning process when you have to teach YOUR kid all of these same things, and you worry that something might go wrong with the kid's development.]
That's it for me CF Guy, I dont want to go through the traumas & anxieties I survived through as a kid again through my kid.
I was a very anxiety-prone, overwhelmed kid growing up. Even the 1st day of school was a big trauma, let alone my dad's alchohol abuse and all it's emotional upheaval. And my hubby was abused physically.
So how insane would it be to bring a kid up & have all 3 of us be miserable together? Let the dysfunction begin!
