I'm slowly figuring out that my anger control problems are basically adult level temper tantrums that are pretty scary for my kids to see. I never ever hit my kids - but sometimes I fly off the handle to a degree that is just stupid: throwing stuff, screaming, fbombs. It's usually like "I can't believe this f'ing s$$t" - or "god f'ing dammit." There's no threats or I don't attack them, but it's bad and this morning my 3yo asked me to please not yell. I feel so so so so so so awful afterward. I feel so awful sometimes it leads to depression. Then I'm depressed and it saps my energy to keep myself from not flipping out. I'm caught in an awful cycle here. I really try hard to apologize afterward and explain as best I can it's not their fault dad loses his temper.I've done a lot of therapy and a lot of mindfullness stuff - anything else to try? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/34Zc8r3
