I was in a cafe for lunch today and glanced at article in paper on baby P case and had to quickly turn the page. Then another article about starving people made me nearly cry again. If I see someone do something community spirited i shed a tear. I had to rush past a dead bird on side of road the other day because it is too upsetting. I was never like this before the birth of my son. In fact I was a little too cold hearted about these matters. Why has this happened? When my DS was born I cried every day often. I then continued to cry easily at things such as written above for 9 months after the birth. Horrible things about children are the things that set me off the most. The other thing, i dont know if its connected is that I had for awhile a thing whereby i would have images of throwing my son down the stairs in a split second as i walked past stairs which would slightly scare me even though i knew i would never do it. I have found having a child fantastic, amazing, and i have a great DP and easy life. The horrible imagery happening to my DS slowly diminished over the months.
