[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a widow, 2 young kids.  Husband died when my youngest was 1.  I have no help and sometimes I feel like I get too angry and then I act (yell/make things worse) before I am rationally thinking.  My main trigger, the only time this happens, is when my youngest (2 year old boy) gets really upset and starts screaming.  It is actually pretty rare that he does this, 2 times it has happened in the last 6 months where he really lost it and each time I got angry and yelled and just made it worse when a loving calm response would’ve diffused it faster.  Since I know that his yelling is my trigger I am thinking if I can tell one of these tantrums has started just to like step aside and count to 30 or 60, anything to get my rational brain working again.  Any tips on this topic is appreciated.  Also, have been trying to find a therapist that works with my insurance and have gone through a few that haven’t really helped, so please don’t suggest therapy, I’m already trying to make that work.

Many churches have free counseling and it isn't religious.  Have you had grief counseling because this helps tremendously after a death.  I am so sorry that you're going through this alone.[/quote]
