It sounds like you still feel guilt over what happened to you (when objectively you know it's NEVER a child's fault) and maybe question your own caregiver's skills. You've survived and you should be proud of that and that is the legacy you can give your kids. When I spoke about transference, it was alluding to the possibility that you've transferred your own issues onto your children- not consciously- but the fears you felt for your own safety as a child are now put on them. I did (and do) the same thing, but the best thing I can do for my children is get well myself.
take care, judy
