Mummy Guilt

[angel2write]

Yes, you're right. It's not easy. Sometimes I look at the things my mom did to injure me, and I can see where the temptation was. Our noisiness, our emotions, our bouncy joy, all were insanely irritating to her. Because she was mentally ill. And I REALLY don't want to become my mom and do the same things to them for the same reasons, even. (Though PTSD is different from what was wrong with her.)

It's good that you're succeeding in raising relaxed and happy kids. Good job. :tup::tup::tup:

Hi Shellbell, I was thinking about this all posts posted by you and angel2write. I feel, you are trying to find a balance. You know very well noone can be so perfect and any relationship can't be perfect. It's great that you are aware you love your kids and here you need to stop. I mean this is great.

So how have you been? Could you figure out what can help you to solve this guilt? I think you needed to find stop for yourself and you have gotten there. I understand everyone wants to be cared and loved. Of course you deserve them all.
