What moms deal with internally

How to Overcome Mom Anger with Jessie ErrediaUs moms often feel guilty for the anger we project unto our kids. And yet, we find it difficult to stop ourselves from blowing up our frequent anger.

Aside from anxiety and depression, there is also an immense amount of anger that we need to learn how to navigate. This may sound a lot of work, but self-awareness and working on our issues are critical not just for our healing, but also to avoid unhealthy parenting (and we’ll talk about a quick fix later on!)

Before we proceed, we need to recognize that frequent anger in moms can be an effect of postpartum depression. And postpartum rage is caused by what’s going on chemically, hormonally in a woman’s body. There’s a physical component to it. At this point, clinical diagnosis and medical assistance is highly advised.

Why are we always angry?

But whether it’s postpartum rage or a simple mom anger, there’s a mental piece to this internal problem that we could control. Because most of the time, it’s the tremendous changes in our situation that stresses us.

So it is very common, and that you are not alone. You’re not a ‘terrible mom’ or a ‘crappy wife’ for feeling that way. We need to let go of that guilt that further burdens us to give ourselves the space to get to the root of the issue so we can address it. (See also: eliminating the mom guilt.)

We have to understand that becoming a mom easily brings out and magnify our anger. Because your whole life literally changes, and anger is commonly rooted in fear of a new obstacle.  And changes don’t stop when your child is born. Because you always enter a new phase in your life whenever your child hits another stage of their life too (ie., toddler stage, puberty.) It’s like every stage is an opportunity for our brains to catalyze a new fear— that would then become anger as it comes to the surface.

The good thing is that we can solve this anger problem by just having a few different skills that we can quickly implement (especially in the midst of feeling that anger rise up.)
