When things get to be too much, it's absolutely okay to walk away into a different room and take a moment to yourself to calm down. Leaving your kid for 10 seconds and coming back zen is far better than exploding. Sometimes when my daughter is having a tantrum I tell her "I'll come back when you're a bit more calm." It allows me to calm down too and, if I don't feel like she's not calming down, I'll walk back in. I've found that turning off the lights and giving my daughter a hug/holding her can really help us both calm down too. If your husband is able to tag in when things get too much for you, that could be a help too. Hang in there
