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...
