Hi everyone, I have two lovely kids (1 and 4). Their father and I am in the middle of a divorce and I’ve been a wreck for the past six months. I have an anxious attachment style from my childhood and I’ve been in therapy and worked on it. This whole situation has made so many feelings resurface and I often get angry at my kids. I apologize and try to be calm and playful, and then I lose it again. I think things will be better after he’s moved out, but I’m terrified I’ve given my kids the same anxious attachment style that I was given as a child. I was so careful doing everything by the book when I had my first kid, and now I feel like I just do everything wrong. Is there any way for me to repair my relationship with my kids and give them a secure attachment in the midst of all of this?

Hi friends. I’ve been doing a bachelor in Interaction design for the past years and will hopefully finish soon, and I’ve previously studied pedagogy and languages and have experience teaching languages in high school. When I decided to move to UX, AI wasn’t a big thing and now it’s everywhere. I loved UX for the designing, the understanding users, and its similarity to pedagogy. Now with this AI boom I feel like I might have done a stupid move. I’m interested in user research, accessibility, humanity- centered design, and wicked problems… does anyone have any encouragement to me, any advice or just some positivity?
