[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 396444, member: 1872"] Jan, I have said things that are much, much worse to my difficult child's. I apologize too, even though I'm generally not sorry, but realize I have to practice what I preach. This past Halloween our kids were terrible, and I lost it, and there was a big brouhaha. Of course with my luck, we had our home-based therapist coming the very next day, and the difficult child's were eager to describe my offenses in excruciating detail. I was supposed to apologize and I just couldn't do it. I did end up apologizing that I had "let myself sink down to that level." Both kids were ecstatic when I apologized and rushed to hug me. Oh brother. Usually when I lose my cool, it's because I haven't been minding my own needs. So I need to make sure I'm taking care of myself. You do the same, and for sure don't waste any more time feeling guilty. Put your feet up. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
