[quote=Anonymous]OP. No real advice, just commiseration. One thing I do try to be good about is apologizing when I yell. Of course, not yelling is better...but letting my kids know I understand that it was out-of-line is better than pretending it wasn't.

One thing is to understand why you are getting triggered. For myself, I know what the problem is. I'm a true introvert who needs alone time to recharge, and after 2 years I'm tapped out. I used to work from home and travel at least once a month. Both of these things gave me stretches of time when I was alone. In addition, DH used to take the kids out for a half day on the weekend. I haven't had these opportunities to recharge in 2 years, and I feel like I'm slowly losing my mind. When DH does take the kids out now, he brings lunch home (instead of a restaurant like before), and it ends up being a shorter outing and a mess for me to clean up. That last one is an area where he can help. I am simply exhausted never having the ability not to think about someone else.[/quote]
