to just think I'm not good enough?

Does anyone else genuinely think their child would be better off without them?

I adore my daughter beyond words, and 95% of the time I'm a good parent. But I have low patience (and mood) and I'm starting to shout more regularly. I've even told her to shut up a couple of times, which disgusts me. She's just 2.

I'd never hurt her physically, but I'm conscious of what damage I might do to her emotionally. I am loving and affectionate to her most of the time, I just struggle with my temper over typical toddler behaviour.

I tried to get help from the doctor but she told me it's normal and she felt like this with her own children too.

I don't want to fuck my daughter up - I love her too much.

I have reoccurring thoughts that she'd be better off without me. I couldn't life without her, which leaves me in a predicament.

I just want to be a better Mum for her...

Who else do out have around you OP?
Sounds like you need some rl support and maybe time out.

Do you work? Does she nursery?

The first step is knowing that you want to change and why x

I'm sorry you're struggling Op , it's not easy is it ?

I think you could do with some rl help , I'd contact your health visitor or go and tell them how you're feeling , they will look in it as a positive that you recognise things aren't right .
