[quote=Anonymous]OP--please don't be too hard on yourself. You are still grieving and adjusting to your situation. I was a yelling parent as well--and for a lot longer (some my kids were teens when I finally got it under control). Two major things that helped me--taking a deep breath or walking away when I could feel myself heating up) and two, apologizing if I lost my temper. I think that sometimes parents feel a lot of pressure to be perfect and feel helpless when confronted with evidence that they are not. It helped a lot to apologize and to talk about my feelings (like--I'm sorry, that was not nice/good to yell.It was not fair to you...). My youngest (who was in kindergarten) could understand and we could talk about better ways to interact. Also, consider PEP programs. They are free and easily accessible (some are even on Zoom) and they really have some useful tips and strategies on getting through those challenging moments. Sending you a hug and positive vibes[/quote]
