a person should not feel any different talking about this type of situation versus any oother mdical issue they may have.

A few years back I snapped at one of my sons hockey practices and broke my stick in my frustration with him, I then almost instantly went from mad to full blown crying - it felt like something inside of me broke that day. I went for some conselling and was on some meds for a while and it caused me to re-examine my relationship with him - over time i began to feel better and it helped that at the time i had some great support from people that knew me.

i still feel a little anxious everytime we go to the rink where it happened and of course i wonder if deep down i scarred my son, even though we have spoke at some length about what happened.

if you had a toothache, you would see a dentist and if you had a sore arm you would go see a doctor, so if you feel like something is not right mentally, there is no shame in reaching out for help
