> i do get out when i start to feel that way. i've told the kids that i went into therapy because i started feeling angry and i didn't know why, and that it didn't have anything to do with them. i love my kids, they are awseome and they know i feel that way. i tell them all the time. i haven't yelled in a month, so it's better. i have 4 kids, and the youngest is 2, so i had to tell the older ones that if i feel mad, they have to take over until i get over it, so i don't yell at anyone, and i get over it really quickly, so it's not like i'm away for long.

> So, i guess i should just try not to think about all this stuff, and clean my house, or weed my garden. get my mind off of it. today my girls and i played cards. They are so funny, they cheat when i'm not looking, on purpose to see if i'll notice, then they both laugh when i figure out somethings not right. i am blessed to have a family that puts up with all my crap.

> fwYou sound like a great Mom fairywings(cool name by the way). I think the number one important thing is to talk to you kids (at a level they'll understand). It is a gift to your children. They can know they don't have to be perfect and thats ok. Thet got a Mom that really loves them and takes time for them. i am trying to do the same for mine. I hope I haven't done too much damage earlier with my 'outbursts'(to put it kindly). my kids seem to be doing better, I think my boy was a little messed up by my behavior but he's doing better now. I try not to torture myself over it. I tell myself the stuff I just wrote. Take care. Its nice to know I'm not alone in all this crapola.
