[quote=Anonymous]Hugs. I’ve been struggling with my mental health the past two years and my kids have witnessed all sorts of behaviour that I am ashamed of. Therapy, meds only help so much and we live in a a small house away from family and there’s just no where to hide. I’ve just been honest with my kids about things being harder for me and it’s not their fault. I’ve scheduled counselling sessions for them so they feel they have places they can talk. The reality is that all parents are human and our actions are always going to impact our kids. However. We humans are also quite resilient! So instead internalising the shame, you can model how to take responsibility, apologize and forgive. You are breaking the cycle that triggered your burnout. Your child will create better boundaries, knowing she is good enough. It’s obviously a process that I am currently working through and it’s not easy but you have to trust yourself. [/quote]
