I hate the mom guilt I feel for disciplining my kids. I don't yell or scream at them but I lose my temper and lecture them at times. I know if they do something bad they need healthy discipline and communication. I still hate doing it though and feel guilty when I have to.
Today is the one year anniversary of my father in laws passing and my family is getting together at my mother in laws house. My mother in law has never truly made me feel supported but more judged. She is genuinely sweet lady and has helped us financially. Again she has never really made me feel loved or supported. Which is particularly hard for me as my parents passed 14+ years ago. Ex. She didn't even say happy Mother's Day to me even as I was handing her a gift and saying it to her. There is a list of other things too. My therapist thinks I should start drawing boundaries and empower myself by not going today. I was on board but now I am at odds as I kind of do want to go. I'm debating reaching out to my therapist and let her know how I'm feeling. Any opinions would greatly feel appreciated
