Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have such a stockpile of bad mom moments. Me standing next to K-Bug right as she dropped baby CJ on his head, on concrete, outside of Costco. Me not taking K-Bug's wrist injury seriously and telling her to ice it for weeks before we finally got it x-rayed and discovered she needed surgery, a bone graft, and a pin.

Both kids are fine, I have a few extra grey hairs (under the purple), and life goes on.

But yes, I'm glad you are talking with your doctor and working to care for yourself. She seems like such a happy baby, so you are doing so much right.

People keep trying to give me credit for her being a happy baby, but both me and TCG swear this is just the baby we inherited. She was always like this.

Punishingly Intricate

ugh, sj, I'm not a mom so I haven't had to deal with that particularly awful brand of self loathing but I have been in that brain space. It truly sucks and I'm glad you're going to talk to a doctor about it.

I'm sure every parent can tell a story about their kid doing something dangerous or being hurt while on their watch. A different flavor from your baby's mishap but my dad, an engaged and loving parent, liked to tell us about the time he was sitting in shorts reading the paper and my year-old brother toddled over and chomped on his knee. My dad reflexively kicked and sent my brother flying. Brother is 49 now and totally fine (except for being a Republican).

Our wings are not tired.

I have such a stockpile of bad mom moments

Seriously, we all do. We enjoy my mom regaling us with stories of her mishaps with us. Are you going to feel bad when you drop your kid on his/her head, sure! But we all do it. She and TCG know you are a great mom, and I hope someday soon you will get there. Also, don't beat yourself up about beating yourself up! We all suffer from bad parent paranoia. I think maybe it helps us be good parents.

It's not just the bad mother feelings. I'm just filled with self loathing about every aspect of myself at the moment. I don't know where it is coming from or how to stop it.

Talking with your doc is a great step one.

I've also been in a ton of pain and had a terrible stomach for weeks, which I think is contributing to all the badness.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Physical pain and illness amplify any emotional/mental issues by a factor of 10, in my experience.

Teppy, did you get that new IBS med? Is it helping?
