DH and I are going to counseling

proudarmywife08 · April 2011

We're going to couples counseling so I don't lose my mind. I am so incredibly stressed by everything and parenting the two kids is making me crazy. I feel like I"m not being the mom I want to be and I need some help. DH isn't home enough to help me with everything and I just don't think I can keep doing it the way I"m doing it. I end up yelling more than I should and doing and saying things that make me feel like a horrible mother. So I talked to DH for a long time last night and we are going to see a counselor to see if that will help me manage my stress and figure out how to be a better parent to my little guys. Thank God I have such a supportive husband, otherwise I think I'd really lose it. I don't want to say anything to anyone IRL but I wanted to talk about it to someone.

Ditto. And good on you for recognizing your need for help rather than continuing to stress over it.

this! It's hard to have 2 young children -- mine are about the same ages as your two and while it's great, the level of stress can get ridiculous. That's great that you and your DH are going. I really respect you for realizing you need more support. It's good to take a step back every now and then, check in, and make sure you are ok -- much better than letting things fester then exploding.
