[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every mom I know (particularly SAHM, military wife, others who were the primary parent) has a story like this with toddlers -- doesn't make it OK but it is not uncommon. I would not drive to a psych ward over this (yikes) but consider it a wakeup call that the fundamental balance of your life is off and needs to be changed immediately. I would work on the marriage first -- it really is the foundation. Look up anger management techniques. I have a naturally short fuse and walking away and reading a page of a book when angry really helps me. Agree with suggestion to be silent when angry with your toddler/putting them in time out. Just don't talk. Talking almost always makes it worse in these situations.[/quote]

Except that here it might not be a toddler, and the OP states she has ADHD. You are clearly not aware of the ramifications of this disorder if you think consulting a psychiatrist means "driving to a psych ward". Are you one of these people who believe ADHD is a made-up illness? [/quote]

DP.  That was a suggestion made upthread.  I can't say whether it's a good suggestion or not but agree with quoted PP that this is a wakeup call.  Something needs to change.  Now.[/quote]
