This was not the life you envisioned when you decided to have a family. You knew there would be tough days, of course, but not that nearly every day would be really, really difficult to get through. The tantrums that can last for hours, the almost constant arguments, the exasperating sullenness; you do not feel in control of your life anymore, much less your child’s behavior. Most days you just find yourself giving in to avoid major blow-ups and you know this is only making everything worse in the long run.
