Now I can say, after months and months of self doubt, I am a good mom! Words can play terrible tricks on the mind. They can make you feel insecure, betrayed, inadequate, and insignificant. I am constantly put to the test of how words control my feelings. My therapist told me "words only hurt when you give them value they don't have" I really need to keep that in mind, and I'm working on it, but I'm easily derailed. But I know my kids are happy, healthy, loving kids and I am a good mom! :)
