It is DDs birthday today, I should be feeling happy. But instead my anxiety is through the roof. I worry about DD a lot because I had suffered with emotional and sexual abuse as a young child and young adult. I am paranoid history is going to repeat itself. I have daily flashbacks and find it really hard to cope. She has now gone passed the age when I suffered the worse of my abuse so I am trying to breathe a sigh of relief. Tried talking to DH but he does not worry about anything which is good but doesn't really help. My DM has anxiety and she turned to alcohol to control hers so that is my new anxiety that i will follow the same path. I am already on antidepressants
My DM did not cope when I had a boyfriend (now DH) and now my own DD is at the same stage I know I will struggle too.
I have DS too but do not worry about them anywhere near the same amount
