Learning to Parent Myself.
There have been many guides in my life. There were people who helped me learn to parent myself, in a more nurturing, kind way. I do not have to be alone. I will need help in undoing a lot of the negative parenting skills I know and have internalized as a direct result of the abuse. I need objective people who truly understand what any child needs to grow and flourish emotionally and spiritually. These guides are found in many places and at many different times in my life. Some are a consistent part of my life, others only for a fleeting moment. However I may get this parenting knowledge, my inner-child will be much richer and stronger in spirit.
Each time I actively use the knowledge I get from my guides, I will be showing my child-within my love for her and my compassion for her past abuses. She deserves to be parented in a loving, respectful way, and I can begin to give that to her. She will help me know just what she needs from each guide.

I love it! I totally agree, there were a lot of resources about parenting, I always run to my mom when i feel that my parenting style isn’t that good.

I did that too…. but I asked my husband at the time – my parents didn’t teach me how to be a parent at all! lol
