I am so sorry about what happened to you as a child. I haven't gone thru that experience, but one thing I wanted to say is that from what I have seen you post, you have broken the cycle, you are doing things differently than your mother. That's something to be proud of.
My guess is, this is probably something you will have to heal from in pieces. It probably won't all happen in one day, or year, or moment.
I just don't understand why our society hasn't found a better way to prevent child abuse. It is scary that people can just take babies home from the hospital and do whatever they please, as long as it's not obvious to outsiders what is going on (and sometimes, even when it IS obvious, it still happens, we have all seen those cases on the news). There must be a better way.
