The smallest thing will trigger me and I'll snap and yell and scream at them, pretty much for no reason. It sucks and I know it's affecting my kids negatively. I'll make them cry and keep going.

I did the same thing when in a mixed state as my kids were growing up. Every Mother's Day I would ask them "How can I be a better mommy and they all looked frightened when they said "stop yelling". Talk about a guilt trip. My worst memories is making them scared while i went off on them. I must have looked like one of the Disney witches. They grew up ok, but when we talk about those days they joke a lot about the moments of insanity (I cringe), but never my horrible temper. I'm afraid to ask if they remember.
