I’ve been gone so long, I don’t really know how to start this post. I’m now a mother… didn’t think I would ever be saying that! I have a little girl, who is nearly 5 months and has forever changed me but I am sure you can imagine the feelings that came up for me if you have followed my posts on here. I was coming to terms with my situation with my own mother and working through a lot of repressed feelings, let me tell you I had no idea the new feelings I would have towards us after becoming a mother myself.

This is something I definitely want to write about, I want to keep having these conversations.

Being a mum, when you’ve had an absent mum? My head is spun truly.

I’m not sure when I will get this post out but in the mean time if you want to follow me on insta please go ahead :) https://instagram.com/roh___o?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Could you kindly publish this? I'm trying to start a conversation RE women and absent mothers as I never see this being discussed, only absent fathers. I want to be able to start passing on some advice and tips to other women, to let them know they aren't alone in this. Hopefully younger women than myself will have some of their questions answered in a way I didn't. Regards - R2YM

What does it look like for you when your inner child appears in a triggering situation?

Learning what this looks like for you is a wonderful tool to have although the journey of getting there might not feel or look positive and that’s totally okay. 

Being able to pin point and recognise the moments and situations that trigger your inner child and in turn trigger you to respond in a manner that can be self-destructive is not to be underestimated. You don’t deserve to keep re-living trauma that in that precise moment may not even exist but it feels as though your inner child is panicking and trying to get the hell out and away from it. 

For me - situations where I am being shouted at cause me to shut down completely. My inner child feels like I am going to re-live something awful if I dare open my mouth to respond. She would have learnt a long time ago that if I am the object of being yelled at, yelling back is only going to get me physically hurt. I try to disappear inside my head. 

It may have served her well when I was 8 - but for me as an adult? It’s counter-productive. It doesn’t mean I have to tolerate being shouted at but it’s okay for me to articulate how I feel and in turn ask the person to also adjust their behaviour. I can only soothe my inner child by recognising that this situation is not the same. 

Please feel free to share what this can look like for you. Let’s talk about it.

Hi there! This is a wonderful idea! Start the conversation, and I know many women will benefit from knowing that they're not alone in this. Especially since absent mothers aren't as common as absent fathers. Good luck!
