It helped. I wasn't super nice but I didn't get in a fight.

If I'm by myself with the boys, I just tell them I'm done discussing things with them and I walk away from them or send them to their rooms. When my husband is around, I just walk away completely and let him do damage control. I just really worry about how they are going to turn out because of these moods I get into. My oldest just shuts down when he gets yelled at or gets angry and throw things in his room and slammed his door when he still had one. And it breaks my heart when they still tell me they love me. It feels like I don't deserve their love after all I've been putting them through.
