Dealing with Anger
Definitely need to vent some words out here. I've been dealing with a lot of anger recently. My son is in his toddler stage now and it's been so rewarding seeing him grow and learn so many things so early. I'm truly proud of him. But trying to be a good parent on those hard days where he throws tantrums is definitely getting to me. And I don't know what to do. I've taken advice from all kinds of parenting styles yet I still get nowhere for trying any and all of them. I keep trying to help my toddler get through his tantrums but nothing has worked. And each day I feel more and more frustrated and more angry. And I don't want to feel this way. I can barely sleep at night cause he wants to sleep with me but will kick me in the face the whole time and it sucks. He wants all of me lol the time and idk how much more I can give without feeling like I'm gonna explode. I've never had or wanted to hurt my son and I won't. But I'm afraid I'll hurt him with my words and I don't want that either. I just feel like I'm failing some how and I don't know how to fix this situation or myself. I know someone that has three children and yet she handles them better than I ever could. And here I am struggling with just the one that I do have. Keep telling my self I suck at this because it really feels like I do. I don't regret having my son and he is a blessing upon me and my partner. I'm just trying to keep it together for the sake of my little one. He hits me and screams and cries at me often. But he doesn't deserve for me to be angry at him. I'm not sure what else to say here but yeah this has just what I have been feeling. I'm still trying to get by these emotions each day at a time.
@NovaCat227 awww bless you ❤ children don't come with instructions, it's working out what will work best as a punishment that works for your son. Be patient, the terrible twos will end soon ❤ when you get to boiling point, step away, never act out in anger, I can imagine how hard that is. But yes you are very blessed to have your son ❤ the closest thing to heaven is a child ❤ and don't compare your parenting to others, your not failing, your doing a great job ❤❤ gives you a giant tiny hug ❤❤ good luck sweetie ❤
You know it's funny cause he's not even two yet lol but in a few months he will be. But I had a really long night to reflect on myself last night and lots of tears that I needed to let out. I just need to take one step at a time and to not thing about the bad moment and focus on the good that's after and in between. I thank you for your kind words they have filled my heart with a little hope that things will be okay ð«¶
@NovaCat227 your doing a great job ❤ your an awsome mum always remember that ❤❤
