I feel like shit. I feel like I’m such not a good mother like I’m not doing as good as I should be. All I wanna do is cry and hug my son. I don’t know why I feel like this and I hate it I just want the best thing for him I don’t want him to go through things Im going through.

I'm sure you are a good mum, the fact that you are thinking about it and trying makes you a good mum. But I think I know what you mean, when you feel anxious and depressed it's easy to judge yourself and think you are not good enough. Keep hugging your son but the fact you love him so much makes you a good mum. Take care

I'm sorry your hurting and worry about not being a good mom....but you know your there for him, and that's a good mom. Kids don't come with manuals on how to raise them, each one pops out as an individual, no one size fits all, they are all unique. And your doing your best at the moment, but it also sounds like maybe your going through a bit of depression, Correct me if I am wrong...but could you share maybe a bit more on yourself, how old is your son, what is it your most concerned about....I am glad your here sharing, your with some very kind people.

Hi Lilone97, to get upset over not feeling like your good enough shows you a good mother. A bad mother wouldn't care and you clearly do. It's hard work being a mother. Society have set theese high expectaions which are mostly impossible to reach. As long as your son is loved and provided for which he clearly is then nothing else matters. I have these same feelings, never knowing whether my decisions are right or I am.doing enough x
