My wife and I are currently going through a separation and we have 3 toddlers. Recently I have noticed that they have all been extra sensitive and crabby, I’m assuming from what they feel coming from us. But my 3 year old has also been so abusive! Whenever he gets upset he is constantly hitting us, punching us, jumping on us and I just feel like a complete failure as a parent and have no idea what to do. I have tried time outs, I’ve tried sitting and talking with him but nothing seems to work! I feel like I’m loosing my mind!

Does everyone go through a point where they feel like a failure as a parent or is it just me?
