I know you're serious. I just realized I probably shouldn't have said it because it was my issue, not generalizable I think.
I have a hard time holding onto the big picture, and when my husband is stressed, he becomes critical and hard to live with. My therapist explains it as his way to feel more in control when he feels out of control elsewhere. It upsets my son a lot, because my son is already pretty self critical.
At those times, I think to myself that I can't be a good enough mother because I chose my husband to be the father of my child, and that disqualifies me as a good enough mother. Of course most of the time he's a terrific father, so all of that is nonsense. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have as the father of my child.
And it's never something I think about anyone else, just myself.
I was tired and stressed last night and added my own personal issue about myself to my post, is all.
