[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again: one more thing— I really agree that rage is unhealthy. Maybe raging comes from childhood issues - not sure— but it feels awful... [/quote]

Just know we've all been there.  Every single one of us.  It feels awful, and we always have a chance to try again.  We're all a work in progress.  :)

As my kids' old Pre-K teacher used to say, "It's never too late to have a great day."

I love that saying and think of it often.  She had such compassion for the kids in her classroom, and didn't hold a grudge.  She truly meant it when she encouraged them to start over with a clean slate.  I feel like things go much better when I treat myself that way -- when I stop judging myself for prior mistakes and give myself a chance to start over without judgment, self-blame, or shame.  Somehow it helps me tap into a bit of calm and patience that is often otherwise out of reach.

And that wonderful Pre-K teacher that I quoted above?  My "spirit animal" of patience?  She's now a friend of mine, and guess what?  She loses it sometimes with her DC, too.  ;)  We're human.  It happens.

When in doubt, be kind to yourself!  [/quote]
