New Here
Hi everyone, I'm new. I'm a 31 year old mother of a 3 year old.
I have made a post in another thread but wanted to post here too as I'm wanting to connect with other full time parents who are experiencing PTSD.
My PTSD comes from my childhood and involves a family member that is still very much in my life, (we were young children and I don't believe he understood what he was doing) this has been such a struggle as I don't feel I can tell everyone in my life what I'm experiencing. Especially my father, as we have a wonderful relationship that I don't want to ruin. Also, I want things to be as peaceful and 'normal' for my son as they can be.
I'm in therapy and we're now onto inner child work which is very helpful but it does make me think about my son as well, I want his childhood to be great. I want him to have the Mum he deserves.
I have a super supportive partner whom my son and I live with, and we love him very much and I want us to continue to be a family (and have a happy life if that's possible for me).
I guess I just want to know if anyone can relate to my situation?
