Could having a bad childhood have made me a better person?!
Question: Could having a bad childhood have made me a better person!?
I had an abusive father growing up, still ashamed that I was treated worse than an animal!.!.!.!.!.but, other than that embarassment, I think it worked out for the best!.
Having bad parents makes me pay special attention to my kids, that I treat them like the precious human beings they are, partly out of fear that anything bad that happened to me could happen to them!.
Also, since my parents sucked, I don't blindly follow authority, and I don't let anyone take advantage of me!. I would never, ever, ever let my husband or anyone else hit me- when I was small it wasn't my choice, but I love myself too much to let anyone take advantage of me!.
Also, since I was small and tried to escape my bad family situation mentally, I was always really into reading, and that helped in school so I developed into a very intelligent person!.
I keep hearing about how survivors of child abuse are risks themselves, but I think even though what happened to me was wrong and horrible, I turned out better forWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's lovely to read a success story like this!. Research suggests that we either emulate our own upbringing or take the opposite path!. My childhood was marred by being put down regularly by parents I now see as jealous of our youth and our opportunities!. I left that life and ensured my girls were brought up with every encouragement so yes, you are right!. We often learn most from the hardest lessons!. I was lucky, I had a twin sister and we often say we saved each other!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had a very abusive childhood!. I was physically and verbally abused by my mother and sexually molested by my brother!. It made me very depressed and withdrawn as a child!. For years I blocked it all out until I finally kept my family out of my life and went into therapy!. I realize now how strong I was for living through it and dealing with it for so long!. It has made me a better parent to my children!. I didn't want them to have a childhood like I did!. I guess I appreciate how good my life is now compared to how bad it was growing up!. I don't know if it's made me a better person but it's made me stronger!. I am compassionate toward people and I care about them!. I didn't want to be like the people I grew up with so maybe I am a better person!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hello, thank you for your question and story!.
I think it is affirmative that you are a better person by treating your kids well and by not letting anyone take advantage of you!. You have done a conscious job of not repeating what your parents have done to you!.
The thing is, we can't choose our parents!. If we could, we wouldn't have asked to be born in an abusive environment!. However, what is done is done!. And apparently your parents had bad parenting skills and should have raised you the way they were supposed to!. Don't look back at the past!. It is always there to remind you, but you can CHOOSE to close the door and face the life in front of you!. And you have done a great job! :) Look at your family and kids and how you love them and protect them!. You have so much to offer for them and they will return your love and affection in time!.
Let the past go!. It's not worth thinking or analyzing too much about it!. You are too intelligent to get back in the past!. Travel with your family, enjoy life, read to your children, and watch them when they're asleep!. They're your angels!.
Stay positive about life!. Good luck and take care!Www@Answer-Health@Com
