[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Kids came home. DS and I had a gear to heart. He apologized before I did and then I also apologized. He is singing and playing around the house. I don’t think this has scarred him for life.

And he said his test was easy.[/quote]
Great it worked out OP, and no, that one incident wouldn't scared him for life. Some people really need some perspective, or therapy.[/quote]

Let this be a lesson to you. For some of us, at our angriest hitting or yelling never crosses our minds, for others anger makes us lash out. I think that's just temperament. Find what works for you when feel yourself growing angry at his behavior. Walk away, take ten deep breaths, hold an ice cube (the changes your physical response), whatever works. [/quote]

Of course one time won't be scarring. But if the lesson OP takes way is that her kid seems fine, she could repeat the behavior. And then repeat it again. Forgive yourself and move on, but as PP says, develop strategies so it does not happen again.[/quote]
