"The truth is that I've always worried that I would be a bad parent because I haven't had good parenting role models. I am terrified of being someone who abuses children - I know I could never hit a person but I know first hand that emotional scars can be just as difficult to heal. I hope this is just an irrational fear."
I hear this, big time. I think you just have to accept and realize it as a part of your history, and do your damndest to never ever make it part of hers. I think recognizing that is half the battle.
