Yes same!! I feel so much more sensitive to those thoughts about other babies / kids in abusive households or orphanages .. definitely my heightened with emotions 😅
You’re not alone. I’ve thought of this a few times since having my babe. My parents have brought it up to me too since they see him often. My mom said she had the same thoughts after giving birth to me and my sister. I think it’s hormones & our innate “tribe” or “village” instincts. That inner desire to protect & show love. My advice is to just try to focus on the good you’re doing in your household & maybe consider volunteering or becoming a foster parent down the line if you find you are very passionate about it. 💜
@Shanon thanks Shanon glad I am not alone and that makes complete sense❤️
@Sarah 😩 so sad ain’t it glad I am not alone I will just have to learn how to filter it x
@Sarah thanks Sarah I will deffo do some prayers xx
honestly I kind of live by the serenity prayer. I have to accept the things I cannot change. the only things you can really do are volunteer at places that advocate for children in domestic violence situations or women's shelters, and/or just love your kid(s) extra hard and be grateful for the life and love that you have. if you're religious, say prayers for the children to find better homes and lives and for their parents to seek help or change their ways. you may also consider speaking with your doctor about your intrusive thoughts if they are impeding your ability to live your life.
