Not really sure where to start with this!
I have always had very low self esteem and have been emotionally abused by partners in the past.
Since becoming a parent I have a really struggled with being ignored.
I get furious when my children ignore me and I when I have to repeat myself over and over again.
My husband very rarely supports me with trying to get the kids to listen.
He says I tell them off too quickly and shouldn't expect them to listen.
My view is there are only so many ways I can politely ask them to do something without eventually having to raise my voice.
Internally it makes me so angry when I am ignored, I get this feeling of rage that eventually turns into a feeling of worthlessness.
Am I unreasonable for letting it get to me? Does anyone else feel like this? If so how do you cope?
Thanks in advance
