Good morning friends, 1 hour and 7 minutes to go before I pick up my puppy. Can’t sit still so excited.

Hi friends, one of the things I still struggle with is if there is more than 2 other people in my home. Right now we are in the middle of our fortnightly dinner with my son and I can’t sit still for long, I have more smokes than I would normally would just to escape the lounge room. It really causes me
a lot of emotional pain and adds to the feeling of I am a bad mother. I am dreading the next family birthday as all the kids will be home so that’s 9 people here. I am working on what tools I can use to cope better. Thanks for listening, huge hugs to you all

Hello @Bellarose75 ,
I'm sorry that things are so challenging at the moment. Sounds tough in that you have to find ways to 'escape'.
I'm not sure of the context around 'being a bad mother'. However, I realise these are real feelings for you at the moment.
You are welcome to 'unload' some of these feelings here if you think it will help. Perhaps other mothers/parents can share their experiences with you.
Sitting with you,
tyme
