I'm glad you confided in us. Trouble shared is trouble halved.
PS, it may not always make you want to drink. Feelings can change, situations can change. Just because you feel this way now doesn't mean you'll always feel this way. Give yourself more sober time.
Thank you, least. I’m glad I came here tonight to read and post. It really helps. It also helps knowing I’m not the only one finding parenting difficult. Some have easy kids, some have difficult ones. But no matter what it’s challenging and we can all learn from each other. Thanks for that thought also about maybe it won’t always make me want to drink, and to be patient with myself. I’m sure you are right.
