[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - thanks to the nice previous posters. I just feel like parenting is 10000 times harder now than it used to be. We don’t have any break from work and expected to work and take care of our kids perfectly and it shouldn’t affect our mental or physical health. I don’t know how to keep going. I feel like I am going to break. [/quote]

I know. You are not alone. My kids are so sick of each other and are wondering if their life will ever be normal again. I’m exhausted and not getting my work done and same for husband. All my reserves are used up and I alternate between feeling terrible for my kids (who clearly also have PTSD) and feeling like some one needs to help ME because I’m going to have a literal break down. My therapist and my kids therapist have both canceled on us due to COVID and frankly living with this type of uncertainty is very hard regardless of meds and support.

I just try over and over to not yell. Don’t give up because you yelled once. Keep trying. And apologize and owing when you make a mistake [/quote]
