Hello, I'm Andrea Maher.
All I ever wanted was to be a mom and I was completely shocked and devastated by how hard postpartum anger and rage hit me.
Becoming a mom seemed to awaken this inner monster I couldn’t control.Â
I spent many of my days yelling, screaming, overstimulated, and feeling out of control.
As a mom of 3 (including a set of twins) - I would put my kids to bed and sit down on the couch, sick to my stomach with guilt for all the times I yelled at them or lashed out during the day.
I love my kids more than anything in the world. I knew they didn’t deserve the way I was treating them.
I would promise myself that the next day would be different, but the cycle would just start again.
It felt UNCONTROLLABLE in the moment.
My journey to becoming a better mom
One night, in a fit of rage, I screamed at my kids to shut up and go to bed. I slammed the door and ended up breaking the door frame.
With a look of fear and tears in her eyes, my daughter looked up at me and asked me if I even loved her.
That was a breaking point.Â
I had already fought my way through addiction to a life of sobriety. And in that moment I decided that this toxic cycle in my parenting had to end.
So I took action to learn skills to control my anger. And explored new ways of leading my family and running my household in a calm and respectful manner.
I took it upon myself to break generational patterns.
FAST FORWARD TO TODAY
