Does anyone else feel like your truest self around your children?

To my fellow raised by narc turned parents themselves: do you find that you’re guarded and damaged except around your kids? For example, I’m quite uncomfortable with physical affection. I don’t particularly like when people hug me or snuggling even if I like the person. But I genuinely enjoy hugging and snuggling my kids. It’s like you always question people’s motives but with your children, you don’t have to. Idk if that makes ANY sense. I just feel like my most genuine self when it’s just me and my kids. Anyone else feel that way? via /r/raisedbynarcissists https://ift.tt/3ksyZTT
