I wonder if it’s just me? But … ever since having my baby I have a strong feeling of resentment towards family members/ parents who put me through stuff as a kid/ teenager. Emotional abuse/physical/ verbal abuse… things that I went through that I never thought deeply about until I became a mother like I had “let go of things” “forgotten” “forgiven situations” but now I’m a mother and I look at my own child I wonder “how the f*** could you treat your own child like that” I look at my own baby and I could never put her through what I went through. It never hurt me before but now I think I have come to the realisation of it and I’m so upset about how I was treated. Has anyone else had feelings like this resurface? Now people I have had an ok-ish relationship with for the past 1/2 years I suddenly feel so much anger towards them for the past and don’t want to be around them& I feel like asking them how they could have ever treated me that way but I feel like time has passed by it’s so out of the blue?

I feel the same way, when I was pregnant is when these feelings resurfaced. I went no contact with most of my family because of how they treated me in my past. I had a stress free pregnancy as soon as I cut them off, I started talking to most of them again, but those feelings never left. I still feel resentful towards the people who hurt me and I don’t think it’ll go away anytime soon

All the things my parents and aunts have put me through I think about it all the time and wonder why they did that to me. Especially since having my son I wonder how they could've hurt me as a child cause I can't even imagine doing that to my son
