The post received a lot of attention, with people from all walks of life chiming in, offering support and advice. It's a reminder that it's never too late to seek help and that change is possible with the right support and resources.
This mother made a post on Reddit about her struggles with parenting and her anger issues 2 months before she provided this update. OP replied to some comments and was in denial about her actions, but after reading more comments and messages, she realized the severity of her situation.
She was heartbroken to hear from people who had similar experiences with their mothers and no longer had relationships with them. This was her worst fear, and she was determined to do better so she booked a virtual appointment with a psychologist, who diagnosed her with OCD, and since then, she has had eight sessions with her, which have been a big help.
OP's relationship with her daughter has also improved significantly. The mother sat all her children down and told them that she was going to be a better mother and wife and that she had the resources to not be an overbearing control freak anymore.
OP expressed her gratitude for the support she received from the Reddit community, which helped her to become a better person and to fix her relationships with her children. She also apologized to anyone to whom she brought back bad memories and expressed her desire to have relationships with her children until they all grow old.
