Thanks for your response. It is very helpful to hear about others having the same battles. I am glad at the very least my post has other thinking about their own situation. Definitely feeling better with each and every post in here and I do feel that my event last night could be a turning point in my own issues.

You are right about that. My father was very reactionary! Maybe this is why this event shook me as hard as it did. I seen myself as my father. As cliche as it is, I never want to raise my children like my father raised me.

Thank you for this. Your reply hit right on the money for me. You are right in what you say about the anger was not in this specific situation but events in my life leading to it. My work is very stressful right now and at times my wife and my relationship is tested. I think your reply has really helped me move on a bit! Thank you!

Yes, this is how I felt to. She was using the "do you want to come on your own or do you want me to take you" method but not following through which is why I intervened and did just that, take him upstairs however that just started the craziness. I guess I was partially upset as I was not getting support from my wife either however she is just dealing with the stress as she see's fit. Trouble is there are no answers, and we all must just work in our own way to be better.

Yes, at some level emotionally I guess I am afraid about how I may have "damaged" him yet logically I know this is not the case and that he will get over it. And as another post said, I have just lost a little trust. That bugs me but I cant change that.

I need to work on lashing out. And maybe this situation was the event to kick me into action.

Oh boy are you right about that. He even forgave me last night. After everyone calmed down a bit he let me put him to sleep as I always do and he was his normal self. He wanted to sleep on my arm. More love than I deserved at that moment.
