What I learned shocked me:
Yelling daily - sometimes multiple times, feeling completely out of control
Constant guilt and shame - wondering if you're damaging your children forever
Walking on eggshells - afraid any little thing will set you off
Feeling like a failure - despite trying every parenting book and method
Exhausted from fighting - both with your kids and with yourself
Dreading difficult moments - bedtime, morning routines, public outings
Staying calm under pressure - even during major meltdowns and stressful days
Feeling confident and in control - knowing you can handle whatever comes up
Enjoying your children again - instead of just surviving parenthood
Breaking generational patterns - giving your kids the emotional stability you didn't have
Having energy for what matters - because you're not constantly fighting and recovering
Being the parent you always wanted to be - calm, patient, and connected
