B2c, you know what I have been through and how disconnected I have been all my life. You know the type of childhood I ran from into my head. You know I have so many parts I fret I will never be whole, yet I have two beautifully intact children. One is 20, and one is almost 16. I have two distrubed parents, one was undx bipolar and pyscho and the other, my father is distant cold and never affectionate. He still isn't with my children. That is just the way he is. My mother was well a mean hard woman who had been abused herself and continued it. All that being said, I did not do that to my children. Never of them are depressed. Never of them has any issues outside normal growing pains. I worry about them and my p-doc and I have discussed it and he assures me them are fine. All my friends that know my history assure me they are fine. My daughter is a junior in college, pulling a double major with two minors with a 4.0 last semester taking 18 credit hours. She is on several administration/student boards with the university that advises activities etc for all students. I am not bragging just pointing out that someone messed up as I am can and do raise healthy children if they try to and work hard at it. It can happen. Children are resilient.
I never did to her what was done to me. Thank God. Your sweet baby will be fine. I believe in her and YOU.
rest assured all will be well.
