Its no secret that Ive been having a rough time with my big girls of late. But I never expected to hear:

"Mummy, I think you HATE me'

come out of DD2's mouth today.

DD2, who is 2yrs, was having another one of her usual tantrums, but this time it escalated to a point where I thought she was going to hurt herself. So I grabbed her and pulled her tight to me and just hugged her. I didnt let go until she calmed down (and shes given some lovely bruises to me already). Anyhow when she was calm I asked her what was wrong, why the meltdown (afterall I only asked took her seatbelt off and asked her to get out of the car). And thats what came out of her mouth.

I am absolutely crushed. I dont know where the start of my wrong turns are to go back and fix it. I am stunned, and I feel so terrible that my own daughter thinks that of me at such a young age. I am devastated.

Im lost for words and I need some direction I think.
