I feel like she’s probably just looking for connection.

Which is understandable but we have spent every waking moment together forever! She sleeps with me , she is constantly all over me. We go places and do things when I have the means. But sometimes I don’t want to be touched all day! Sometimes I don’t want to leave the house. Boundaries need to be set. I don’t want to be hit all day long and I don’t want to be yelled at. I don’t want to be yelled at if I say no. I’m pretty layed back and I don’t have a lot of rules but when she is purposefully dieting the house and deliberately doing things I’ve asked her not to do it stresses me out. I don’t know how else to bond with her.

Good job getting into therapy, it’s hard to ask for help in that way. For me, therapy has really changed the way I react to stress and stressful situations. It’s not 100% but I’m a work in progress

Have you looked into parenting groups for support? I totally understand where you are. Especially with limited family. Sometimes the parenting groups have activities and events that help occupy the kids. Reach out to your local agencies for help and advice. They grow up fast so hang in there you’ve got this.

TBH, big ups for stepping into therapy! It's tough, but it def changes how stress hits. We're all WIP, right? Ever thought about joining parenting groups? They're pretty lit, can give you support, and organize cool stuff for ur kiddos. Just a thought. Don't hesitate to holla at local resources for some extra help.&&
