As a parent, all of your effort goes toward navigating their out-of-control emotions. Your child may struggle with anger, anxiety or ADHD and managing those are taking away from your family time. In fact, very little of your parenting energy goes to actually connecting with and enjoying them. It's heartbreaking to think about how strained your parent-child relationship is.
It's as if every day is a roller coaster and you're starting to wonder if your family is ever going to be able to have a happy life. You've reached a point where you long for bedtime, just to go to sleep, wake up, and start worrying about your child all over again. Before you had kids, you imagined what your family life would look like. You pictured yourself taking family trips, exploring and genuinely enjoying your time together.
But all of your visions changed when your child couldn't seem to handle everyday moments. Vacations turned into violent outbursts and trips to the store turned into tantrums. So, now you're just trying to make it through the day without feeling like a total failure as a parent.
