[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 298237, member: 1514"] My mom was tremendously abusive to me and I had to learn to break that cycle with my kids. I was not very good at doing that when my kids were young. I had my kids way too young and had no good parental figures. I didnt have anyone to look up to and say...Oh so that is how you raise a kid. Well...I did have TV. I loved the Cosby Show. I wanted to be like that family. Ha...lol. I messed up a ton. I knew it wasnt good to scream bad things at your kids or throw household objects at them so I tried real hard not to do that. So I screamed in my room and tossed stuff out the windows or out the front door...lol. I didnt hit my kids. Somewhat of an improvement. Jamie did mention something about how I yelled at him when he became an adult and it crushed me. I didnt realize he still remembered it. I wrote him a letter explaining the whole thing from my abusive background to my bipolar diagnosis and then told him how sorry I was. Later he told me he was just teasing me and he meant nothing by it but I dont know. I think he did. But he also turned out to be a really good kid and a good adult so I didnt scar him for life..lol.
