A few days ago, an exhausted young mother came to see me and asked me how not to go crazy in the next few months of motherhood. As it turned out, her sister had been admitted to the hospital and left her niece in her care. There were no other relatives, so they wanted to send the girl to an orphanage.
The niece is two years old. In addition, the woman has two children of her own – 7 years old and 1.5 years old boys.
Naturally, the girl misses her mother and is often capricious, which irritates her aunt. The relative is so tired of it that she takes it out on her husband and her own sons.
– You see, I hate my sister’s child. I count the days until she gets out of the hospital and releases me. I can barely restrain myself from hitting my niece. I’m on edge… I’m afraid for the children. And my relationship with my husband has broken down. How do I get through this difficult phase?
We dealt with her “brutal” emotions and began to discuss the relationship with her sister. As it turned out, they were not close, often quarreled, so a woman now pours her negativity on her niece. She was tired of the constant problems, which contributes to a surge of emotions.
– It’s a good thing I did not adopt a child, because my own children are not so annoying. Thank you for everything! – The client said before she left.
