[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP. Hang in there. I could have easily written this post so I know it's not easy. My partner used to blow up at our kids regularly or would escalate situations that could have easily been handled. He finally started seeing a therapist when he started recognizing that he was following patterns he had learned from his dad. He learned some self-regulation and worked on getting enough sleep and getting exercise. Both of those things are major factors in keeping his emotions under control. He also realized that he was frequently stressing about finances and his therapist had him set up a plan for monitoring accounts. He no longer goes to therapy and recognizes when he needs to get back on track with sleep and exercise. Things are not perfect but they are far better. Be careful that you don't carry so much of the load that you end up with resentment at a later point in time. I spent a lot of time trying to be sure I was the one who handled the kids and it's not good - makes it difficult for my partner to now be the one to implement consequences and makes me resent that I have to always be "in charge."
