[quote=Anonymous]I think you should stop telling yourself you are a bad mom and bad at/hate parenting. There is a lot more going on here (recent divorce, ppd, financial stress). I’m not saying parenting doesn’t add to the burden you feel but it’s not you or the kids that are the root issue. Give yourself some grace and keep treating the deeper issues-keep working to get on even footing financially (congratulations, it sounds like you are killing it in that area) and maybe see if you can meet with a professional who can rule out depression or help treat it. Keep showing up for the kids and fake it till you make it. You have limited energy and patience for parenting right now because you are extremely overwhelmed. Make it as easy on yourself as possible by doing fun but low effort activities with them. Wishing you luck, this sounds really hard but it’s just one chapter. [/quote]
