[quote=Anonymous]My mom had PPD with my younger brother and I was older than your oldest at the time, so old enough to remember. I don't have any lasting damage or trauma from it! I do remember seeing her crying a few times and her being sort of harried/impatient but parents yell sometimes; they're only human. You were very stressed and it's understandable. I was going through a tough time (think, spouse deployment or similar) when my only child was a baby and young toddler and I will admit I was a bit snappy on occasion. I am working on being more patient, but the baby and toddler stages are not my forte and it's part of why i'm stopping at one kid. My practical solution is to lean on my village of support as much as possible. I really wish parents yelling occasionally wasn't so pathologized as this horrifying parental abuse -- it's not "best practices" but IMO it shouldn't induce this kind of guilt.[/quote]
