You need to let yourself off the hook and learn positive self talk. You have tons of people who admire you and see all the wonderful qualities and none of the negatives that you see in yourself. Also, when you are mad at you, those of us who love you often perceive it as you being mad at us. And if you expect so much of yourself, how could we possibly ever measure up? Look at all you have accomplished! You are an EXCELLENT mom and that's coming from a doting Ama who is extremely protective of her granddaughter! I wish I had been half the mom that you are now!
