[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I went in the opposite direction. I chose to never degrade myself in the same way that my parents did when they threw loud fits. It disgusts me so I refuse to model the same for my kids. [/quote] OK, but HOW? NP here, and I'm a yeller too. My mom never yelled, but my dad was awful and I remember how it affected me - we have a strained relationship to this day. I am working really hard to change because I see myself turning into him and I hate it! I just finished 7 weeks worth of anger management classes, and found them only moderately helpful. When I lose it, I lose it big time. I hate what it's doing to my kids and my relationship with them, but try as I might, I am having a very hard time. About 80% of the time I can find it in myself to walk away, or count, breathe, whatever. But the rest of the time I just can't help myself. Not sure what's next. I could really use some practical tips. [/quote]
