Do you ever wonder if it is hard to get over the pain and fear is because we don't hurt with the emotional maturity of our different ages but because we hurt with the emotional maturity of a scared child? I often find myself trying to rationalize my feelings with the physical maturity of my age but that isn't possible because I am hurting as a child. I also find it very hard to handle the emotions that my five year old daughter has, and have come to realize that maybe that is because I didn't get the chance to experience that normal child range of emotions that she has and so I often find myself overwhelmed because it is all so foreign to me. How does one gain emotional maturity that wasn't nutured in childhood in order to deal with the past in an emotionally mature way? I am confused and just don't understand all my emotions sometimes, but I am so tired of trying and still hurting.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
im not a parent but i hear parenting is hard work and stressful for any parent. i think perhaps its harder for you because u are still dealing with pain from your past.
im not sure what the answer is. have u had therapy? perhaps a professional would be best to help u resolve this.
I know i can be childlike at times because I missed out on a childhood and teen hood in alot of ways. I grew up to fast in some ways and in other ways im still behind.
take care and try to give yourself more credit for being a good mother.
