[quote=Anonymous]Agree with all the recommendations and ideas for getting help in place. In the near term, I wanted to share that I went through a time of struggling with rage at my children. I heard about a technique that could help me in the moment. I wore a hair elastic around my wrist. When I could feel the out-of-control anger rising. I snapped the band and said, "it's no big deal" out loud (to myself as well as my children). Then I did my best to take a breath, count to ten, stay calm as the powerful feelings passed. You must control your temper OP, so you don't traumatize your children. You can do it, and this stressful time will not last forever. The episodes pass too, just like thunderstorms do. Just hold on and breathe. I know you can do it. [/quote]
