Hi Pia. Thanks for your response. I’d like to share that I have no children. I attribute my lack of desire to have children to my tumultuous upbringing. Now and again, I feel a twinge of regret. Maybe I lost out. I do, however, have close relationships with my nephew, step-children and grandchildren. I have only recently become aware of the impact of intergenerational trauma in my life. Your awareness of the trauma you experienced and your behavior toward your children are in my opinion essential to breaking the cycle. Your words reflect that you are a conscientious, loving mother.

I suspect that I am one of those children that you are referring to. Now being adult, and having only recently discovered and acknowledged that I do suffer from CPTSD, I am confronted by my behavior towards my own children and wonder if it will affect them somehow, even if I understand that by being aware of my own behavior, which my mother did not, changes the cycle… but does it, really?
