Grew up in a violent household. Broke that curse. Grew up in a household of addiction to alcohol and opiods. Broke that curse as well. My parents never taught us any skills. Broke that curse as well. Grew up with a lot of bystanders. Broke that as well.
Mine is apologising I make sure I say sorry to my daughter if I make a mistake
I grew up in a household where there was a lot of addiction involved and my mum would just shout at us all the time. Don't get me wrong they where not your typical drug addicts they really tried, well my mum did anyway. But I'm glad that my kids will never get to see that and they will grow up in a healthy family home. So yeah I did break the curse.
My sons little so I will see how I get on but I want him to see me and my partner communicate in a way that I never saw growing up. My parents were great individually but when they were together it was always arguments and stress. It just meant every family memory I have is tarnished with memories of arguments, stress and tension. I never ever want him to ever fall asleep listening to the sound of arguments from downstairs or looking out the window when every car door slammed incase one parent was leaving. We try to resolve in front of him if we bicker so he knows how to resolve conflict and apologise and I want his childhood memories to be of genuine fun days out with no tension or anger
My biological parents were addicts. They have both passed now due to their addiction. All of my mom’s kids were born with drugs in our system. I broke that curse and will never put my baby in danger the way they did.
I grew up in a family of heavy drinkers/functional alcoholics. Some of the worst and most memorable things my parents have said to me have been drunk. During the pandemic, I recognized that I had started drinking too much and decided to stop. I am now 3 years sober and committed to raise my children aware of the risks of alcohol while still supporting them in experimenting. I want them to be able to try things but also know that I’m here if things go south. They have alcoholism on both sides( my husbands dad died of alcoholic liver cancer) and we are determined to model a sober and successful lifestyle for them ❤️
I unfortunately didn’t break it. But my kids will. Because they will not create any adoptees.
