Oh matey. What a tough time. Horrible. I have no solutions, only hugs. But I know what you mean when you say
I just don't know how to be a positive parent during these episodes
. All your intentions go out the window with tiredness and a toddler who won't/can't respond to anything.

My moments like this are few with Olivia but when it does happen I feel suicidal, so you have my love and sympathy and admiration for dealing with this all as you do. xx
