I just have such overwhelming anxiety today and feeling like such a bad mom. Over the weekend I was completely short with my kids as I was overwhelmed and tired. AH hurt his shoulder so he wasn't much help with the kids and called me out on being short with them last night. I took it so personal even though it was true....but taking a real look in the mirror hurt. Not sure why I just can't ask him or anyone else for help but then I don't and all these resentments add up and my anger/resentment comes out on the kids. Putting it out there today so I can hopefully move on and ask my HP for help.
Thanks for your honesty Jazzie . Program understands that we are human and not perfect so that is why the steos are so important. Step 10 suggests that we take personal inventory and when wrong promptly admit it. You have done so by sharing here and now by making a simple amend (learning the lesson from yesterday ) and forgiving yourself you can move forward using alanon principles.
(((Jazzie))) - sending you positive thoughts and prayers. It's a new day and we are human. May you be able to just let it go now and use your tools to find peace!
