Title: self awareness? Post by: rarsweet on July 01, 2015, 11:21:35 PM So ex asked about the child development program I do with daughter. I told him what I have learned there and I got into trauma, abuse, etc and the effects on kids brains, elevated cortisol, and how I had been doing more research on it. SHOCKER... .he said " wow wonder if that's my problem being brought up by my dad". I was just kind of speachless and moved into something else. Am I overreacting hoping for a lightbulb moment? Or do we just become like our own parents?

Sure,.you're not his T, nor would you want to be. My T observed that despite it all, my Ex still respected me. He cautioned, however, to not over use it. But he was saying, use it when you can.

Which is something I need to work on also.
