I can’t stop crying, I even cried today when being intimate with my husband. I keep thinking my kids deserve a better mom, he never should have married me. I’m a monster and I harmed our daughter. He tells me it’s not true, there’s no way but how can he be so sure? How can he trust me so much when I really convinced myself I’ve done this.

I’m so sorry to hear that your mind is telling you this. Try to accept the uncertainty all of those questions, as terrifying as it is. OCD wants to scare us and make us always have answers. So let’s fight the monster by showing it we don’t have answers! Friend you got this. You are not alone. I’m praying for you and cheering you on. ❤️❤️

I’m so sorry mama ☹️ you sound like such a caring and compassionate mom. You love your kiddos so much it’s making you sick. We need more people in this world who care about people like you do. So many parents are so selfish and think of their children as their possessions, and can never admit they’ve done something wrong or try to do better. You care a LOT and that is so important for kids to have. If you do something wrong, you can apologize to your kids. It is so much more helpful for a kid to see their parent being HUMAN, seeing them make human mistakes and seeing how they react to them. People don’t apologize to their kids enough, it is so meaningful when you sit down and let your kiddo know you don’t like the way you acted and how you want to be in the future. You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to CARE, you have to show your kids you’re always going to be trying to do better. Just from this post I know you care. That means the world.

I feel this. I have POCD and I have spent so many nights crying and thinking I’m a terrible mother. Those things aren’t true. They’re lies. But I can’t convince you. You have to just accept that intrusive thought’s existence and stop engaging with it. I promise, it does get better.

Hey, that sounds rough I’m sorry to hear that. Truth is there’s no way he can be 100% sure. But people without ocd don’t need the certainty like we do

You are amazing.
