After getting onto my six year old about something (which I do often lately) she just shouted “I hate myself!”I don’t know if I’ve been too hard on her lately, but she has been disrespectful and doesn’t often follow directions. I’m tired of it, so I’m constantly correcting her. Sometimes I’m patient about it, other times not so much.I’ve had depression and anxiety for years, especially after the birth of our second daughter. Our 6 year old is our oldest and then we have a 18 month old and 3 month old. I have good days and bad days as far as my depression/anxiety, but I am constantly trying to improve and get better. I feel like I’ve broken my 6 year old with my brokenness.Having the two babies has really put a strain on my relationship with my 6 year old because I just don’t have a lot of time/energy/mental capacity to do more. I feel like such a failure. I want to fix things I just don’t know how at this point. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2LrxIOx
