If you learn, share it with me, bc I would love to learn too!

I will learn (I hope). I think that's gonna be an ingredient of it, believing in myself, and conviction that it's possible to change and learn it. Please try to stop yourself when you start telling yourself youre a bad mom... You have a 2 yr old, bp, it's so exhausting. You're keeping him safe and fed, just give him tons of cuddles when you are up and perky. I miss the babies, but they are so much work. It's really hard, youre already going through enough, don't double punish yourself please? That was the nicest thing my mindfulness therapist taught me, that I was double punishing myself with all my negative self-talk. Just do your best, and we'll learn together ok?

Nope, no allowances for it. This is like what DH talking about in Mistakes thread. It's unfair and so hard to be a star shaped peg trying to fit in a square hole, so hard to keep a job like this.

Thanks Shattered. Usually I try my best, sometimes think maybe I'm not trying hard enough though. Oh well, I'm happy and lucky I have you guys who hear me and give me hugs.
