hi all
well with my children i didn't get into discussion about things unless they asked a question...i explained that sometimes i am hurting inside like when some one has a broken knee or whatever...that it was the same but deep inside me, explaining why i would do things, that i was hurt badly and when it comes to inside hurt it sometimes doesn't heal..but cuddles do help..though it may not fix it...
and as they got older they approached me and asked more specific questions and i answered then yet not detailed they don't need to be traumatised..
and they do stop asking..and i hope they neva really understand what its like... and my son just turned 18 and before he got his license and car he used to say mum you will neva have to be scared again cause if you do i will be able to drive over and make sure you are safe...beautiful...now i would like some private time for my breakdowns and crashes....
any how hope this gives you something else to consider...
be strong fellow survivor
