My mum had a terrible pregnancy with me, back in the mid 70s when things were very different to now. Apparently I was a “difficult” baby too. My mother was 24 when she had me and to this day our relationship is fractured and she still likes to remind me of the bad times she had. I’m an only child and have been in therapy for a long time to address the issues that have come from this. Always felt inadequate and like I’m not good enough, low self esteem The damage from being reminded what a pain in the ass you were as a baby/child can run deep and affect you for life. I’m living breathing proof. This isn’t a looking for sympathy post, I now know it wasn’t my fault and probably isn’t my mothers either but still, she needs to think before constantly running that child down, PND or not.
