Can fighting with partner affect baby now
This past month my husband and I have been very bad. We are now divorcing. I feel awful but my little boy has been witness to some of these heated arguments.
Is he going to be fucked up for life now?
I'm scared I am making him into a bad person with my husband's and mine issues
I’m so sorry you’re going through such a difficult period. Whilst they are little sponges at this phase and their subconscious is developing, it develops from birth till they’re 5! So this small period is a teeny tiny amount of exposure. You will also have been giving him lots of love, lots of comfort, forming attachment with cuddles and care from you. I don’t think any of us can honestly say we haven’t had cross words or raised voices around our little ones. We always try and avoid it and will always try and deescalate around him, it sometimes just happens as we are all human and we also have our own subconscious that takes the driving seat during heightened emotions. The fact you’re thinking about this tells me that you are a wonderful mum who cares deeply about raising a good human, and I’m absolutely sure you will xx
