FOR MOTHERS

Musings: Losing It

It is hard to admit that I came so close to losing it with Stephanie last night. It frightened me. In my head I saw myself creaming her with the rage of my voice. I am not sure whose rage it is, but it was with me, and I saw myself pummeling her with the psychic energy of it. That is the closest I ever intend to get.

Question of the Big Variety: If “it takes a village to raise a child,” where is my village?

Simple (but big) Prayers:

Please help me get over this hurdle of being overwhelmed, feeling chaotic and being angry which is so much a defense to some sad, helpless feeling inside.
