I did manage to stop the cycle. I had a hot shower and did some relaxation exercises and managed to pull myself out of isolation long enough to talk calmly with my son about what went down this weekend. He will not being having friends over for the next two weeks and will be cut off gaming until spring break.

He took over making dinner that I had started and I will try to eat something when it is done. He will do some more homework after dinner and we will watch the Amazing Race together afterwards.

Sorry for the drama. I feel pretty embarrassed actually. Now that I am thinking more clearly I know I could have prevented a lot of this if I had made better choices.
