i would divorce ME if i was married to me

[ChopinRocks]

I don't know whats going on but my dh and I have managed to work through a really sticky patch recently and things are getting better. We are both trying and its good.

But for some reason I have become very aggressive and this is towards dd8 and dh.
I am not normally THIS aggressive even with pmt! I hate what I am at the moment and feel I am psychologically damaging everyone. The only living thing i have patience with is my dog.
This morning I was shouting at dd for something that I would normally ignore but it just really got my back up. What cuts me in two is the way she cries and this just makes me feel angrier. Am i heading for a breakdown?

I am guessing that you and your DH worked through a sticky patch after he did something that hurt you. You seem to be full of unexpressed anger. The only way you're going to mend properly is if you can express it. Obviously it isn't the healthiest thing to take it out on your daughter or even your DH if it's seemingly over trivial things. Better to deliberately let yourself feel it when DD is not around - write a letter or something to get it out of your system. You might show it to the person you're angry with, you might not. Writing it will most likely be the most helpful part of it.

thank you anorak, this sounds like a good idea. i will try this tonight when dd in bed.
