I am very ashamed of myself but I keep losing my temper with my children. I should add I have never hit them, but I do lose my rag and shout at them often. I know this is completely unacceptable. I feel like a switch flicks and I turn into a different person. I have a long history of depression and was abused as a child. I am in no way saying this as an excuse because I know that I am 100% responsible for my actions. I’m providing context because I so desperately do not want to turn into my father. I need to break the cycle.
I need to be a better person and mother. My children are young and I am desperate to change. Please can anyone offer any words of wisdom.
