Totally eye opening message

At numerous times over the course of raising my two daughters, I have unfortunately 'lost it' when they misbehaved.Ofcourse after I cooled off, I apologized for my outburst, but realized that the image of my losing my temper will forever be ingrained in their minds.I have memories of my mother losing her temper as well. I am working on controlling my anger when things dont always go the way I plan for them to go.I am realizing more and more that my daughters will take the que from me and their father, how to try to cope with life's dissapointments , and accepting the fact that all things in life-good or bad are happening because of G-d's will, and that's the bottom line.

Lori, Hashem should bless you for your goodness and strength. I''ve been a bit of a wreck for a few weeks now. You have no idea how listening to your pearls of wisdom lifts me up. Thank you.
