I’m a Dad of two great kids but I think I might have anger-management problems. When they do something silly, I go to tell them off but everything just escalates so quickly and I end up swearing and yelling at them. I end up going to the gym to work off some steam but it never seems to be enough. I blow up at them every few months and it always ends in tears. I’m afraid of what might happen if I let it go on any further. Do I need help? I don’t even know where to begin
I have had instances where I have taken things too far and I still regret them to this day. I don’t think we can always control how we respond, at least I don’t think I can. My way of dealing with it is to try and do the right thing all other times. And sometimes I just feel sorry for my behaviour.
