Hi everyone, I am a single mum and honestly feel like my word has a taken a toll on me and I have all the burdens on my shoulders. I have a 11 and a 14 years old and every time I say something, they get angry or talk back, for example, if I say to brush their teeth or have a bath instead of listening, they would tell me to shut up or F u and it really hurts because I have been a good mum but I just feel I do not have the right parenting tools or patience. We always end up in arguments and I end up triggering bad memories from my child hood so I get my emotions involved without disciplining them and I am on my own so its extremely difficult doing everything alone. Any advice would help
