Overprotective

I’m overprotective of my kids; I know that this is true. But there is a reason why I act, and do the things I do. I was molested as a child, and still live with the pain. So if I seem ridiculous, your comments are in vain. I’d rather them stay innocent, and have fun when they play. Than live their childhood like I did, afraid of everyday. Don’t misunderstand my words; my kids aren’t in the dark. I’ve taught them of the evils in this world from the start. I want them to be well informed, yet never be afraid. Knowing they can come to me and never be betrayed. So if you think I’m foolish for the things I won’t allow. Just know I do the best I can, it is my solemn vow.

I am exactly the same way - it's hard having gone through that and then having kids of your own to protect - it's hard - I understand totally. Love Kristin
