Guest guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 Hi all I thought I would reply to this post after much inner deliberation......... When I was a small child I was terrified of being alone! My MOM says that it started the very day that we moved into our new house...I was 2 years old! My parents had decorated my room before we moved in to make me comfortable within the new space......My first night there my parents had already been there for about 3 days.....They put me to bed and later went to bed themselves..... At about 2:30-3:00 AM They were woken up by my screams....they came running in as this was definately not *typical* behaviour for me.....ALL OF THE POSTERS IN MY ROOM HAD BEEN RIPPED OFF OF THE WALLS. I was in a crib still and no windows were open...it was a typical Canadian winter! Many incidents later...it came to a point that my parents could no longer deal with my terror; my MOM took me to see a HOMEPATHIC doctor....he saisd I was suffering from night terrors and that I was definatley seeing something!!! As I grew older I saw many strange things in that house......a woman dressed in a red dress with long dark hair.....a man in an old fashioned suit...complete with pocket watch.....scarey things to me........I heard voices in my room.......that sounded like they were all trying to talk at once etc. Sounds crazy, huh??? But it happened! Once I hit puberty it stopped.....completely stopped...and I haven't had a problem since....but I can remember it very well...... If your children are not frightened....don't worry. It sounds like you are doing all of the right things by asking questions and not getting upset.... I am a definate believer in what happened to me as a child......I don't know why it happened...or really what I would call it.....but I know I was always afraid to be alone......and I know it caused chaos in my home! I think children definately have the power to see and hear things that we later lose......some people being naturally more open to it than others...... I hope I have not freaked anyone out with this. It was not my intention to do so........just thought I would add the two cents of the childs point of view...( a former child)..... Love and Hugs, .. .. , Mom to Aidan & Devlin, 28 weekers, now 2 years, IUGR , TTTS, Apnea (resolved), Bradycardia (resolved), ROP (resolved), pulmonary Stenosis, Atrial Septal Defects, intrahepatic portal shunt (liver now resolved), delayed in every area ( global delays), speech delays...now looking into apraxia......and taking EFA's (ProEfa- Nordic Naturals) But HAPPY, BEAUTIFUL baby boys.....a constant inspiration and source of joy to their parents.
