I don't know what to do.
Recently me and DH haven't been getting on for what seems like an eternity. Things all came to a head a while ago and he has taken a lot on board about his behaviour and realised something had to change or he risked losing his wife and kids. Since then he has tried really hard and is a different man, can't fault him for his efforts. But I feel like since his change for the better I seem to have changed for the worse!
He was always so angry and shouting and generally a pain to live with, but now I feel like it's me now. I feel like I'm constantly shouting at the kids, or feeling angry with everything they do. And just generally wound up all the time. Even tonight my DH said, you've been really angry today...
I put the kids to bed without stories as they seem to just ignore me all the time right now, and after asking them to sit down 8 times I ended up sending them to bed and shutting the door, then spend next 15 mins crying and feeling shit.
Can't help thinking I was the problem the whole time, and was just blaming my DH?

Why am I like this atm???

How do you feel about your DH these days - do you feel angry at him too? If it's just the kids, maybe the new calm environment from your DH has exposed some parenting problems that you should both talk through, for instance, was it only you telling them to sit down, and when they didn't did your DH support you in disciplining them? It would make you feel like shit if you are the only one doing the disciplining all the time.
