I know people are going to think I’m disgusting because I do too. I absolutely love my children boy 2 & girl 4 I take them out on a regular basis and I enjoy my days out with them but I mainly take them out because I cannot tolerate them in the house. I sometimes feel like I shouldn’t of had children and that fills me with overwhelming guilt! I’m on my own with them following a bad break up. Their dad has them at the weekends, I have been to doctors and counselling but they just keep changing my medication. I’m now concerned at my rage and anger, I scream at them like literally SCREAM because I’m sick of the constant fighting the constant not being able to send a message on my phone or make important phone calls or keep up with my cleaning and household chores. I feel like everything’s a battle. Today I’ve had to reach out as after 3 times of time out with my little girl while tryin to clean my house, i screamed at her, I grabbed her tightly round the arms and shouted in her ear “Why, why are you doing this to me? Why do you not listen? Why?” And I just went on and on I grabbed her face and said you’re making your mum sad and cross and angry and I can’t do this anymore I then fell to the floor crying as she was telling me I had hurt her race & arms, I felt physically sick how could I hurt my own child? Rage just took over me and it was uncontrollable! I have said sorry and hugged her and told her I love her and she was absolutely fine, but I’m not! I feel disgusting and if I said this was the first time, I would be lying, this is reacurring and I don’t know what to do anymore! I hate waking up in the mornings and just want to go to bed, I feel the minute I open my eyes this starts! I just don’t know what to do or we’re to turn anymore, anyone who can help me or give me advise please do because I just feel like reaching for a bottle of wine and I have a sad feeling of not wanting to be here anymore & feeling that my children deserve and would be happier without me because I’m a cruel horrible bitch of a mother!!! Please some one any one with advice, thank you

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
