I'm not sure how to start. My husband and I have recently separated. I am not in the best place. I am wanting some ideas on how to enjoy being a mum again. I have no patience with them and the holidays have barely left the house, they are understandably going stir crazy, fighting and constant mum mum, which of course creates a vicious cycle. How do I take time just breathe through the frustration and not yell, not get angry, not be over everything? I am struggling to connect with the little people who are my life. the last thing I want is to alienate them, or make them not feel loved, especially at a time like this when they aren't quite sure what's going on and how things are going to be. and I want to feel all that love again, to look at them and feel that amazement at my creation. I hate this disconnection and frustration. help needed ladies!

It's all very new for everyone. Talk to a Psychologist about what's going on and how it's affecting you, it really will help clear your mind and get you back on track. Once you have your coping strategies in place and reset your direction it will be easier to remain calm. Trust me, I was a firecracker - the smallest ignition and I'd light up like a mofo. These days I'm so chilled 90% of the time I have to double check I still have a pulse. Just had to sort out the real reason I was angry so it didn't constantly explode.
