Six weeks is amazing!
In early recovery I thought that episodes as you described meant I was failing at recovery. Something I could NOT afford to fail at. As Sapling said, it's a process. Sometimes pus flows from the wounds, ewww...but necessary.
I'm not saying that it's ever ok to use our kids as targets, because it's not. The thing is you recognized it and are now addressing it.
Does it all ever get to be too much for us to take? I think it does, but we only have to take it in small doses, sometimes we look at the whole bottle of ill tasting medicine forgetting that today's dose is only a spoonful.
The challenges of life overwhelm me, and I have to rein in my thoughts and come back to the present moment, to what I have to address NOW, and accept that I will address tomorrow when it comes.
This has been my number one challenge my entire life. I even have a tattoo to remind me, yet many times a day I forget. "Take no thought for the morrow, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
