But like Kate...I'm sorry that happened to you. But like Kate said, things were different then and violence was an acceptable form of discipline. We just have to take whatever we have been through and let it tun us into the best parents that we can be ourselves. <br /><br />I used to have a cat that was like a dog too, she used to come and meet me off the school bus.catherine @mummylionhttp://www.mummylion.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980535829028668483.post-49301648237598787042012-01-04T11:03:36.770+00:002012-01-04T11:03:36.770+00:00I think if this post puts people off reading your ...I think if this post puts people off reading your blog, then they are probably not the sort of people you want to read your blog anyway. <br /><br />I kept my emotions in a box, safely locked away. The first 18 years of my life were a write off. I survived and felt I did pretty well. Until 6 months ago when I met an amazing man called Trevor who set up Cognitive Hypnotherapy. And we opened the box. And I realised, along with that experience, all the other experiences in life I might have enjoyed were also in that box. I had not been living but surviving (sorry for the cliche)<br /><br />So one day, I hope you have someone amazing to open that box, and help you file that stuff away problem so it doesn't hurt any more and so you can truly enjoy life in the same way as I do now.The Moidererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04393442702246562854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980535829028668483.post-64349505859601549002012-01-03T14:13:38.720+00:002012-01-03T14:13:38.720+00:00Things were so different a long time ago though, a...Things were so different a long time ago though, and who would you have told? Other family members might not have wanted to know what was staring them in the face and our teachers only concerned themselves with academic matters rather than looking at the 'whole-child'. <br />Things have changed now and children are encouraged to speak out, staff are trained to spot & deal with care and welfare issues, Children are educated about seeking help and using Childline etc but sadly, there will still be some who slip through the net.<br />I bet you shed a few tears writing this post. Well done for opening your heart. These early experiences will have shaped your life but I bet they have helped you to be alert for tell tale signs in those around you. Stay strong girl! take careKate Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151208574104203673noreply@blogger.com
