Terrified
Is anyone else terrified of life since having a child? I was abused as a child and I get panicked thinking about the dangers that are out there. There's all this Epstein stuff too and I am so angry at my parent for putting me and my siblings in harms way when we were so vulnerable as children.
Does the fear ever go away? Sometimes I think about things and it makes me feel sick that people could abuse such an innocent child. I'm terrified of nurseries, even leaving my child with family. Its so scary.

You will always have fears sorry you went through that as a child but honestly you also have to look at what does ur baby good im in the UK and I work in a nursery (on maternity leave) and I literally treat kids like my own and I trust all the girls i work with too I was scared when I had my eldest 2 but rhenni put them in nursery just before they were 2 and they thrived so much from it even just 1 or 2 days a week xxx
Hey, experiencing the same and have been through abuse as a child. I have been told by my health visitor that we will get triggered at times due to what we went through and that we are extra hypervigilant! I won't be sending my daughter to Nursery until she's out of nappies and I have so much fear about her even going to nursery but I have to think about the benefits of her socialising ect ect but the fear is intense.
Have you spoken to anyone like your gp or a therapist? Might be beneficial to get some talking therapy so that you can get some help working through the fear. I'm waiting for therapy myself x
Therapy is a good shout. I also have visions of bad things happening to my little one, especially when I am out alone with her.
The extra vigilance can only work in our favour, and we will always learn from our parents' mistakes.
If you would like someone to have a coffee and chat, I am on maternity leave
