My oldest just shuts down when he gets yelled at or gets angry and throw things in his room and slammed his door when he still had one. And it breaks my heart when they still tell me they love me. It feels like I don't deserve their love after all I've been putting them through.
I feel the same way. My husband really wants another child but I'm so afraid of making two kids' lives miserable my mom was mentally ill (still is) and I was so angry at her for a long time. I don't want my son to be like that. So I try to keep it together but it doesn't always work. Usually if he does something bad and I know I'm going to freak out I send him to his room for time out so that I have a chance for a time out myself.
