Hello everyone, I am a bad mother.

No, really. I am. Today, I allowed a 12 year old to push my buttons
and then I lost control of myself and began yelling and screaming and
carrying on to beat the band.
I'm not proud of it. But I am confessing it to you. I've asked for forgiveness.
But I don't really like who I am when something like that happens.
Why do I allow that to happen? Aren't I old enough to have better control
of myself?
Thanks for listening. I'm gonna go hide in the closet for a while.
Maybe I haven't screwed my kids up too badly. Maybe they will grow to
be productive members of society. Maybe......
