Very beautiful, My heart is breaking. I have been so snappy lately and truthfully a little scary and mean ( not firm and kind ) to my daughters whom are everything to me. I feel so not in control. I want my children to have minds of their own and always second guess my authority…letting her wear sundresses in winter, not wearing jackets, staying up late to read one more book, then get another late night snack….Things are not good at home, there is no structure, no peace no boundaries. My marriage is atrocious, yelling and chaos no order, no leadership, no discipline, no help. For 5 years I have been sleeping with my girls to get them asleep, the 2 and a half year old is still breast feeding and can’t sleep with out it. I feel smothered, they are clingy. None of us are getting good sleep and that alone is making me edgy and snappy. My five year old does not listen, mind, she is very dramatic, they scream for everything and in general seem not adjusted. Knowing my children are pushing because they are looking for safe boundaries makes me sad. I have been like a crazy person. Your website brought me back to the beauty, grace, power, importance of being a mother. What do you do about past mean things said to children. My heart is broke to zero ( my daughter said that to me once!!!!!! Ouch) about it, it makes me act guilty and I feel like she can see right through me and it makes me feel like she won’t trust me, and I don’t trust myself because this anger just comes out. I remember my mom doing similar things and it hurt my self esteem for life. One thing different is I acknowledge and tell her mommies aren’t perfect and ask her how to fill her heart back up. I need me time and to ground myself and give myself love so I can purposely be firm and gentle and guiding.
Also can I leave my marriage over these issues. It is 100% opposite of what I grew up with and I think my husband is a severe narcissist / sociopath and it has been bankruptcy, illness with prescription drug addiction, 4 moves, financial struggle and marital stress for all the years of their little lives. I am the person who needed direction in life and could be controlled again always second guessing self so let someone else tell me what to do but now I think it is just ugly and I am stuck and he is unhealthy for me and that makes me a bad mother.
