I try really, really hard to stay positive and not snap at my kids. I want them to have as little as possible to unpack in therapy one day! But I’m human. Sometimes I lose my patience. I get overwhelmed. I raise my voice when I wish I wouldn’t. And then I apologize. I explain and repair. I take a breath and try again the next day.
Motherhood doesn’t come with an off switch. Even when the house is quiet, my mind is running a mile a minute about what I forgot, what I could’ve done better, and what is coming around the bend. It’s exhausting in a way that’s hard to explain unless you’re living it. I’m learning through my own therapy that showing up, owning my mistakes, and modeling repair matters more than being perfectly calm all the time!
