I'm sorry that your family has experienced abuse related to potty learning cacasey...

I am glad that I posted here because the support, "hugs", and kind suggestions have helped me to get that perspective that I felt I was struggling to find. I'm mature enough to know my flaws... and to control them. I needed to ask for some perspective from other adults so that it didn't get to a point that I would express them toward my son. Kids are intuitive... I'm sure he could sense those emotions from me even though I internalized them... but "internal" is how I want them to stay rather than get to a point that I would lose that control and say something mean to him. I know how counter-productive that would be. I'm glad that I have DS as a place I can reach out and know that there are other moms here that will be understanding.
