Advice please.

Hello mummies, I have a bad trait of parenting and I would like to change it. I would like to seek advice. Thank you. I used to live in a bad environment. One abusive parent and another one use me as a sandbag verbally. They tend to verbally abuse me whenever they fret up. I realised that I did that a few times. I try my best not to be like them. But it's so difficult. I feel so guilty for doing the same for my children. I want to stop it once and for all. I don't want to release my stress and upsetness to my children. I'm a housewife. People around me tell me that my world revolves around my children and I have no hobbies or interests, that's why I couldn't de-stress. But my hobby is cooking. I love to find ways to cook my dishes better and find a new recipes to cook. I think I cannot handle stress and my emotions well. Is there any link I can read up on to better help me with managing these? So that I would vent out to my children. Thank you.

Wow. Your family mustve love your cooking! Theyre so lucky!! How old are your kids? If they are big enuff to help you out with cooking, maybe cn cook together and hv bonding time frm that. Maybe also cn talk to husband abt it. For me personally, i will be in better mood if my husband doesnt make me angry. Haha. To control your anger, maybe cn try looking at your kids as a responsibility from God. I alwaes tell myself we are the ones who really want kids and we are the one who initiated to bring them into this world so it’s our responsibility to care for them, physically and emotionally. They didnt ask to be born to be treated badly. Very unfair to break their hearts and let them grow with it. So talk to them with respect so to show that this is how other ppl and they themselves should treat others. Maybe give yourself a break, take short walks or a small trip to get ice cream or any desserts you like. And spend time eating it peacefully, then come home happy🥰
