mom rage?? and Also have not been feeling like myself.

I’ve been experiencing mom rage on occasion and i feel horrible when i’m that upset or irritated. I’m also grieving my son’s adoption which has been hard still. My partner and I are intimate and love on each other throughout the day and flirt and just he’s my bestie. But us going from frequently having sex and being intimate in bed has decreased due to fighting but we’ve finally gotten to where we realized it’s been miscommunication and we’ve been great and talking since but him not initiating sex makes me feel like i’m not sexually desirable anymore.. I try to imitate but I have a lot of relationship abused trauma so i have a hard time initiating out of fear of being rejected and insulted even tho he has never done that to me am i crazy?

i meant “try to initiate” not “try to imitate”

and also we have been daughter free since friday so i thought with the alone time maybe once or twice bc it’s hard to have sex when our daughter is learning to independently sleep so i just feel not worthy right now I haven’t had a chance to talk to him this morning but why advice please

So first of all , completely normal to feel however your feeling , we all deal with things differently and how ever you feel is , ok , is normal and you will work though it. With your partner it could literally be 1000 other things , he could just not be feeling up for it , stressed about work / kids / anything ! I don’t blame you for automatically going to feeling rejected, i probably would too but you just need to talk to him , ask him if eveything is okay , you’ve noticed he’s been a bit distant physically and if there’s not a reason then tell him how it’s been making you feel so he can work on it

@Olivia I’ve been doing a lot better with communication lately i have quite a bit of trauma but honestly now who doesn’t. But it takes a lot for me to talk about something that bothers me out of fear of invalidation. when he wakes up i’ll try to talk to him about it because i’ve already been feeling quite down. I also had an emotional night. I realized i forgot my sons meeting date and i just feel like a horrible person and mom for not putting it in my calender and remembering and i feel so guilty for feeling at peace forgetting for a little about the situation but also reminded me that it’s been 9 months and im still not better
