Children are innocent, I agree.

Did you really "snap" or "crack" or was that the way to cope, change the feelings, make your own needed rules? Sometimes, no, OFTEN, we are too hard on ourselves. We use words that others use, for convenience...but too often, imo, they limit what really happened, what we really feel.
