[quote=Anonymous]I exploded on the kids one day and really scared them.  They were traumatized.  And I realized that I had to give up everything else and make 'not yelling' my priority.  I often wake up at 4:00 am to exercise.  The day after, for the first time in weeks, I did not.  I literally decided that I would avoid all stress possible.  I skipped church because doing three heads of curly hair stresses me out.  I did not attend a social event with friends because getting the kids dressed usually freaks me out.  I ignored dirty socks on the floor, husband's failure to turn off lights or clear his dishes, etc.  I fed the kids fast food instead of the fresh veg I had bought. I repeated hundreds of times, 'I submit' because fighting unleashes the beast.  My only criterion for a good day now is whether I have kept my temper.

Something that has helped me is the realization that I did it overnight behind the wheel.  When I first started driving in this country I became enraged by the discourtesy on the roads.  One day I lost it so completely that I created danger.  Since that day I am a paragon of peace in the car.  If people cut me off I smile and laugh.  They cannot anger me because I understand what is at stake.  [/quote]
