My little girl is 11, and I am extremly overprotective of her. I don't let her go anywhere without me, and I am prone to anxiety attacks when out in public. She is in middle school now and I don't want my horrible past to put a damper on HER life, but I don't know how to do this. I can only go somewhere where there is only a few people at a time. I don't let her talk on the phone unless I listen on the other phone. She is so niave, and soooo sweet. I try to explain to her that I had a horrible past and that I am trying very hard to let her go..to a point. But since she has gotten to this age, where my abuse started to get horrific, I can't even hug her, let alone let her go out where she might get hurt. Nobody in my life understands why I feel this way. Help!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. 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...
Today, we have a great relationship. She's 36. When her daughters go thru the stuff she went thru, we laugh and relax b/c we know they have the same strong, solid base she learned from me.
U can only protect her so far, then u have to turn her loose. Trust she will make it o.k. and will come back to u when she needs your help. I told my daughter if she ever was in a situation that feels bad, she could tell her friends she is late getting home and has to leave right away. I, also, told her it didn't matter what time of day or night she ran into problems, she could call me to come get her. No questions asked. I was a single parent and when she was sith her Dad, she would call me if she needed help.
If you can't hug her, find little ways to touch her until you gradually feel safe to hug her again. She needs that more than your protection right now.
Hugs,

In this day and age it is better to be over protective than having them end up in sites like this one. I wish my parents had been overprotective. Sure it is a matter of degree, but you have done a great job.
You are an inspiration.
I can't take drugs to help with any depression or other issues. For myself for medical reasons I can not take perscriptions for very long, if at all.
I was just sitting here thinking that it was less than 10 years ago that the abuse stopped.....my daughter actually saw some of what went on!
