100 Things I Fear: my child’s childhood

Posted at 9:48 am under 100 Things I Fear,Family & Parenting

84. {12/14/09} Today I took my daughter to see a homeopathic practitioner and it was such a cool experience.  Mary Jo interviewed both of us about our entire history together.  It was so scary to sit back and listen to my daughter describe her childhood.  I was afraid she was going to attack me and blame me for anything negative.  At times, I did find myself wanting to argue points.  But, the truth is…it was how she experienced it and not me.  I did have space to share my experience too.  Every mother and daughter should go through this process together.  It’s scary, but eye-opening and can really help you start over together if you have a lot of history.

    Thanks Sis. It's amazing how much I want to control my child's perception of her childhood. But, the truth is it is hers to own however she sees it.

    Yep, that's how it is haw. I don't know if I would be brave enough to sit through Alex telling his childhood without wanting to defend myself too. But I'm not sure what else Alex would add that I don't already know about. I love him dearly and I am so proud of him. :-)

    I am proud of you too.
