This world isn't made for the hyperaware.

All you can do is try and work on how you will react next time. I’m not a parent, but I have lashed out on the people I love before, and it does make me feel like utter shit. It makes you ruminate in it, and the guilt can be all-consuming. However, these are the things that make you human.

Have you ever noticed how dogs will often show their teeth, bark, and snap at their babies when they misbehave? They're correcting them. It’s natural. It’s not like you’re abusing your child.

Take a deep breath and just try to have a talk with her about these things. You have to talk to them like an adult and teach them boundaries. That’s the best advice I can give you...
