Is this normal? Is this mom Rage?
I have two babies. One just turned 10 months and the other is 2.5 ( toddler but still a baby to me) Im having a lot of trouble with the older one. She wants to constantly beat the baby from dawn till night. Pushing her and laughing, we’ve tried everything
To Make this stop . Its extreme jealousy and we are giving her more attention than the baby and Im basically watching them like a hawk 24/7. I end up screaming my head off out of frustration and feel
Horrible for screaming. Like a monster. I recently fell and have been using a walker to get around and have to take care of both and nurse the baby and it’s just making my anger even worse and even making me depressed. Is something wrong
With me
For screaming? I just cannot stand seeing the smaller one getting hurt. The screaming will feel
Like im
Exploding ive even punched the wall.

Postpartum rage is a thing. It's usually linked to PPD or PPA. Talk to a therapist to help work through this and you may find help and coping mechanisms. It's not unusual to feel that rage, women just have not been able to talk about it without judgment.
Yes, please talk to a therapist. I had a broken ankle when I gave birth and it was sooooo hard to not have full mobility and take care of everything and it really did a number on me as well. Your body will heal with time. Go and get your mind started too. I feel so much better after getting help for myself and I hope the same for you. Your frustrations are valid. You need help to overcome them and display them in a healthy way.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. It doesn’t seem normal, but I can understand the frustration. You’re just acting out on your frustrations. You feel like there is no hope so you resort to acting out. I think you don’t feel heard. Do you have help? If you can ask ppl to assist you, that would be great. And also therapy if you can find the time. Sending positive thoughts to you 🙏🏽
