[quote=Anonymous]First of all, this is almost impossible to read because you're trying to obscure genders so you're using DS which is official shorthand on this board for Dear Son.  Plus your story doesn't obscure your gender at all so it's a pointless exercise.

You need to provide some detail to have any chance of getting real feedback.  What you've written is that you were yelling at your kid for being disrespectful and your wife intervened, at which point she said she felt threatened by you too.  It's possible she's nuts and you were just being a regular parent.  It's also possible that you're nuts and you lose your sh*t whenever you "feel disrespected" even though your reaction is not warranted by circumstances.

The lack of detail doesn't make you feel very reliable as a narrator - without actually saying what happened (the behavior from your kid that triggered your reaction, your actual words to them when you were "being authoritative" not just the act of raising your voice), all you've put down is that you feel like you're behaving rationally and you feel like her saying she was frightened of you is irrational.  Of course you feel like you're right and she's wrong.  That's how disagreements work.  But with zero facts to go on, you're asking us to tell you if your feelings are right and there's no way to do that honestly.[/quote]
