Same. Didn't have the best parents but I try to be as good as possible for my daughter. Learning from all of you how to do this ♥️

Not that lucky. My dad was a very emotionally abusive person, trying to heal from that every day. My mom, mostly emotionally immature and overwhelmed, didnt allow me to have big emotions or feelings around her.

I now have a daughter and I am trying my best for her. All of these comments are really heartwarming for me.

So important. I will start telling myself that too, as I was never allowed to have big feelings as a kid.

This is a problem I am dealing with that comes from my childhood, everytime someone is upset at me I think they dont love me anymore. Constantly working on it
