Please can you give me some advice. I think I'm a terrible mother. I can be so quick tempered with my three children and no matter how hard I try, no matter what reading I do for techniques, it seems always to just be a matter of time before I lose it. And in actual fact, the harder I try, the worse I seem to do.
The result? I have three extremely shouty, argumentative children who do not listen to me UNTIL I lose it.
I feel so pointless and useless. I love my children so much and I'm so scared that they'll grow up and hate me. Inevitably when I read one of these threads, there's always people saying that their mother was like me and now they have no relationship. I also keep reading about Adverse Childhood Exoeriences and how they lead to trauma. I feel like I'm possibly damaging them with my shouting.
I've tried counting and leaving the room and all sorts... I just don't seem to be able to do it.
Please help me. I love my kids and want them to have a joyous childhood. ☹️
