Scared to have a baby girl.

Brittany

I’m pregnant with baby number two! We don’t know what the gender is yet, but I have a two year old son so far. Am I the only one who is scared to have a baby girl? I worry especially because as a kid I was sexually abused by a family member and it completely destroyed my confidence. I’ve suffered with depression, and body issues. Growing up I’ve also been taken advantage of by men and physically abused by boyfriends. A lot of my female friends have similar pasts, and have been through the same things. I don’t want to raise a girl like me.. I want her to be confident and independent. I want her to genuinely be happy and comfortable with herself. I don’t want her to have depression or anxiety.

I know all these issues can come up with boys also, but I just feel like they are more common in girls.
