Kids - parenting through my trauma
I feel very emotionally attached to how people perceive my kids. I’m sure it somehow comes from my traumatic childhood.
They are 13(girl) & 11(boy) I feel very strongly about how people will react to them. My daughter not as much, but my son can be a lot and I care very very deeply about how people view him. So much so that in group settings, If I can see a situation ( kids playing to rowdy etc.) I’ll completely remove him from the situation for fear of him being involved. This week he was at a party with my husband and the exact scenario I am terrified of happened and a lil boy fell after they were being rowdy and he has a hairline fracture. I made my son apologize, I myself and my husband all separately apologized. But I cannot even sleep over worried soo much about the scenario. I’m at a loss on how to “care less” or let things go. I’ve become obsessed over this accident, like can’t eat can’t sleep.
