I was married when my daughter was 5, but it was a horrible marriage and i felt like a single mom. Anyway, I was blessed with a well behaved child, (which I am sure yours is too!)(But i know it can be stressful with a child around at times) Anyway, my daughter is almost 15 now, and I know that right now in my life I could not raise a child. I think God gave my daughter to me (at 17) because maybe he knew I wouldnt have the mental strengh for it now..I dont know. But I have re-married and have a 3yr old step son who lives 500 miles away, but we see him often. And though I love him to death, I get so freaked when he's around..I am nervous and scard at the thought of being responsible for such a little one...But, I just want to tell you that you are a good mum, and there is nothing wrong with being a little freaked right now. Maybe try to do things with her like color or read..it may calm her down and you too!!
Good Luck,
From: Another mom who's got social phobia :(
