I resented my mother because she used to take out her frustrations out on me, one minute nice then spewing forth such rage and violence. I hated her, I was trapped with her. But what is worse than all this is that I have become her. I find myself yelling at my children in the same way. How is this monstrosity possible? My mum was distant, emotionalless so cold. And I find that I am becoming the same? Oh God please God may it not be so but it is, it is a dravesty of unfairness.

If you want some advice on being a complete and utter failure as a parent then heed this advice? Go by your feelings? At the birth its magic, and there are many wonderful moments when we feel like we love our children so dearly. But what about the times when we could throttle them, what about when you have blown the fuse, when you are emotionally exhausted, when they disobey you for the millionth time? What about then. Go with your feelings if you want to be a truly genuine suck.

Love is so so much harder than you might think. To act contrary to what you feel takes love, it takes a commitment to break the cycle, the cycle that will otherwise mould you to become what you hate.
