Thankfully she eventually came out of it, and so did I. But there were days I'd drive home from work dreading the evneing and just wondering what the blow-ups would be about that day, and hoping and praying we'd get through the evening without one. <br /> <br /> Sad to see you're "retiring" (from this blog at least!!!). It has been a great source of info for me over the past year. I just returned from Ethiopia last week with my new son, age 4.5. He's a little sweetheart, but has a definite personality!!!! (What kid doesn't?!?) Now shtarts the work of attachment... <br /> <br /> All the best in your new ventures. <br /> <br /> Roma Hi Mary, I know what this is about – went through a period last winter with my then-6-year old… Thankfully she eventually came out of it, and so did I.

I'm afraid I haven't always been "there" when I should have been, but we're all improving around here. It's good to know that these feelings can happen to the best of us -- My son and I are working on "not being angry anymore" together. Just admitting that we felt this way seems to have helped immensely. Great post, hit a little too close to home for me!
