The point here is that if you haven’t yet been able to stop losing it, it’s not because you’re a failure. And it’s certainly not because there is anything wrong with you, either as a person or a parent. This is a really important point so I’m going to repeat it again in capital letters: YOU ARE NOT A BAD PARENT. Parenting is hard, losing your shit is part of the universal human condition, and you just haven’t gotten the right mix of advice and support yet. You can do this. I promise.
