[quote=Anonymous]Yes I read this, and also related so strongly to it. I've had to do a lot of honest self-evaluation about this. I had to really tap into what was setting me off. For me, it was partially about insecurity. That nagging voice "am I raising a good kid?" would turn into a roar of "you are raising a spoiled brat". And then I'd take out every ounce of that insecurity on my very little child. Then I'd feel so ashamed and guilty. I had to recognize that it was a pattern, but also that I could control it. Self reflection helped me a ton. Just saying out loud "I never want to yell at her like that again" was helpful. I also apologize to my kid, which helps keep me honest. When I've been out of line, I say so. I don't want her earliest memories of me to be me yelling at her.[/quote]
