I think I have an anger problem :(

[xSebbiesMumx]

And I don't know where to start well I think a start is admitting it but what do I do?

Today I picked up my son from nursery as it was his settling in day, he did very well..but something made my blood boil beyond what a normal person would I think..anyway I was talking to the woman who had been looking after my son when one of the other kids started pulling on my sons shirt and in the end he really hurt him and made him cry

I saw red :/ I felt like taking that child and doing the same to him! Or giving him a rather large slap behind the earhole!..or a rather large punch in the face..I literally had to breathe when I picked up my son, it was dealt with and he was giving a stern enough telling off..

I've been in that frame of mind before when my son was playing on the park and another kid swung for him..luckily missing but I felt this uncontrollable anger and felt like hunting him down and giving him a slap as well!!

I don't know if it's my over protectiveness kicking in or a genuinely do have a problem :/ but how do I go about getting some sort of help if it is a problem

Honestly I think its over protectiveness not a problem. If you seriously considered acting on your feeling or did act then that would be difference however this is only two incidents you are telling if it happens regular or you are concerned you could try speaking to your doctor anyway

Well, i had an overbearing urge to slap the child or give it a few choice words, but i knew i had to restrain myself as i knew the consequences if i did such a thing :\..Maybe you're right it is just my over protectiveness coming through but the anger was so over powering and scary..I wouldn't usually dream about hurting a child but those two occasions just made me think differently

I think the fact that you didn't act on your emotions shows you have control more than you think however mayne just go see what a professional says maybe they can help you deal with and understand the anger a bit more. Can't hurt right?

Yeah, that sounds good but I'm kinda scared they'll think I've lost it and probably throw me in the loon bin when I tell them what got me that cross I almost couldn't control myself but I knew I had to!! :/

I do seriously think I've lost my marbles somewhere a long the way!! But yeah maybe a doctor could help or at least point me in the right direction...
