Re: s/o parenting self-talk
As a newbie, I have found this thread helpful and encouraging.
Helpful - I've already started teaching myself so I can respond more gracefully. Encouraging - I have a legitimate reason to talk to myself! Also, it helps me to know that others struggle with similar things. I was hesitant about joining this group because I thought maybe it was filled with moms that are gentle and kind and never get angry or yell at their kids.... It's much more helpful to see that it is filled with moms who do get angry and regretfully yell at their kids while pursuing gentleness and kindness! Thank You! Jennifer |

Re: s/o parenting self-talk
Another one falling in love with this thread! I am so grateful that Allison pointed me here.
I don't have children yet, but I know I can start GDing/re-parenting myself now so I've got a head start! I definitely struggle with anger issues stemming from emotional abuse growing up, but DH has been a huge help walking me through healing from that, so it's better. But I want to gain more tools and strengthen myself as much as I can before kids!

Re: s/o parenting self-talk
It's so startlingly effective to patiently parent the little girls in your head, and watch how they respond.

Re: s/o parenting self-talk
I'm late to the party, but I want to sub and remember this. I cried through all 15 pages. I'm not doing okay. It helps to know other mamas I admire have been there.

Re: s/o parenting self-talk
If you're here and you made it through all 15 pages, you're already moving forward.
You might just be amazed at what an impact realizing that you can re-parent yourself toward health will make in your life, in a very very short time.

Re: s/o parenting self-talk
Something I said to my son that I thought I needed to start parenting myself with:
"I know it's hard, and I know it's sad, but sometimes we have to do things we don't want to do." Which is a lot better than, "Suck it up, cupcake." |

It was a real turning point for me allowing my kids to correct me. "Mom , that was rude and uncalled for." allowing them to have that voice I never did. My 16yo daughter turned to me today and said , "Well that was mean." I realized it was and made amends. My 19yo daughter's boyfriend startled...no...he scared the beejeebers outta me yesterday. I called him a very unflattering name in the heat of the moment. My daughter said , "MOTHER!! Language...my tender ears are burning here." I didn't apologize for that one , her boyfriend deserved it. |
