[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 418266, member: 135"] First of all, one argument is not going to emotionally cripple your kids. Fighting and arguing are part of life. Yes, it would be nice if we all fought fair but that's just not the way it works. All you can do is reassure them that you both still love them and that, yes, you and he should have found a better place to fight but it's not their problem. They are old enough to begin to understand some of this. If he is open to it, he should speak to them too but if he's too upset to do it right now, maybe he would do it later. In any case, kids have lived through much worse. Assuming you both go on to work through things, it could be a positive lesson for them: even people who love each other get mad sometimes and say things they shouldn't; it doesn't mean they don't still love each other and it doesn't mean they can't work things out. Quit beating yourself up for something that is really not your fault. [/QUOTE]
