Recently I've been filtering my words.

It's definitely something I've had to learn how to do. I don't think I realized the impact that my words had before. Maybe I just felt so worthless, why would anyone care what I said? Problems from growing up with careless drug addict absentee parents and practically raising myself I guess. Full of confusion and other negative feelings I couldn't identify at the time because I was not stable enough or educated enough, etc etc, to understand that it wasn't normal, maybe. Anyways. Ugh I've been such a mess of a person and just not even realizing it really because it's all I knew. I mean, I still am, who are we kidding. Anyway, I blab.

You’re working on changing learned behaviors/habits. You weren’t given the tools as a child to feel stable and cope, but you’re working on yourself and breaking that cycle for your own child.

It’s hard work, and you should be proud of yourself for seeing where issues are and learning new ways to do things and carry yourself. Your child is lucky to have you, because as you know from your own childhood, not every parent is capable or even willing to do that.
