abused as a child, now what?

[tillytoes72]

This is a little odd but i cant really find any information to help me and dont really want to google as i'll find loads of bad and maybe some good advice.
My daughter is due to start nursery in a couple of months and i'm really starting to panic about her going and me not being able to make sure she is safe, you see i was abused as a child and its just starting to really worry me that leaving her alone with strangers the same could happen to her. I'm thinking that i can not be the only mother or father who feels like this and there must be some kind of support i could get to help calm myself a little.
I dont really want to go to my doctor to ask for help unless i really need to.
I have left her with friends before, but i am really paranoid about nursery and dont want to be checking her and questioning her as she's growing up.

Is there anyone else in the position that could offer some advice?

Counselling would be very good for you, however it can be expensive.

Would you consider it?

Sorry you haven't had many replies to this, you might be better asking mnhq to move your post to parenting or relationships.

There's a couple of threads in relationships which might help you, stately homes or survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

They're both for abuse survivors.

Other than that could you speak to your health visitor about you concerns as they're normal for anyone when their child first goes to nursery, it's called seperation anxiety and anyone can get it.
