catching up

Oh no Karen, things where going so good earlier in the week.

Karen you are not worthless or a failure, i do hope she can get her temper under control, is their any reason she got upset? do you ask her not to hit you? i know how your anxiety and flashbacks makes you in these situations, i am sure you are just as frightened as your little one.

maybe when she calms down you could have a little chat with her to not hit you anymore, it is not good for her or you Karen, i do understand how children are, i was like that too at her age, please be gentle with yourself Karen, just a small bump in the road.

hugs my angel, i know you are doing the best you can, oh and you are worth all the money in the world to me 😄 and to me you are such an inspiration so you are not a failure either 😄

Hi @hiddenite/Karen,

Glad to see you here. Enduring through struggle, but here.

I know the feeling my angel,

i would shower you with praise and compliments, you would never feel worthless or a failure with me 😄 you are my protector, my angel, my princess. 🙂

do you have anything to distract Karen, when you go to bed is their any movie or mandalla you can do to take your mind off things?

i know you are wonderful and awsome Karen, i just need you too see what i see.

OMG i had to go to Officeworks today to get some stuff, anyway their where so many children in with their mothers, i could not understand why it was so busy, then i realised they where getting all the school stuff for their kids, have you got around to that yet? i bet things have changed from our days, do your little ones take laptops to school or are they too young yet?

OMG they do have laptops, my goodness how times have changed, they still write, don't they, like in a book? Wow that is awsome so they are all packed up you just need to pick them up do you have a labeller? well that will help you distract when you get them 🙂

Oh yes, i am glad too, i was so anxious, i was shaking so much and the sweating, OMG it was so intence being around os many people, i can't handle it anymore.

Ok my angel, i understand, just try to be kind to yourself, you know your mum is just bullying you right? please try to have a little talk with your little one over the weekend some time or even next week about not hitting you anymore, i am not tryign to tell you what to do or anything, i just think it would be good to stop it now before it gets out of hand.

i know how exhausted you are, i have a real bad headache from going out today, and i am trying to get my breathing back under control, i am doing breathing excercises now, maybe you should try as well 🙂

Yes my breathing is all over the place too 😞 take deep breaths...........in......................and out, do this until until your brreathing is in a regular rhythm, i have been at it for about 30 min now, it does help Karen.

Good for you Karen, i know from experiancee how out of control things can get with temper tantrums, i had shocking ones growing up, i know it is the anxiety and frustration for me, i am sure it is that for your little girl too, but you need to help guid her to channeling her anger into a non-destructive thing, you said you bought her a stress ball, maybe encourage her to squeeze it or throw it, maybe even if she still wants to hit something maybe a pillow.

I know how triggering it must be for you Karen, it must be so awfull, i hope she can break the cycle before it gets out of control, anger is a very strong force Karen, it has taken me years to get mine under control, and sometimes i still struggle with it.
