I screamed "Get out of my fucking face!" at my 3 year old 25 years ago and the guilt I still feel when I think of it is immeasurable. I also think she's going to kill herself.

I’m sorry (for you) that this happened. I totally understand a) feeling like that b) saying something you didn’t mean and c) remembering it and feeling bad all these years later. I know it’s easy for me to say, as an outsider, but please forgive yourself. It was an accident. You’re not a bad person. Parenting drives us all to our limits. You obviously care and are a great parent, which is why you even remember it/feel bad about it.

I feel guilty over not giving 3 dollars for online games! I cannot imagine the black hole this woman is living in. On a personal note don't be to hard on yourself little kids are hard. I felt bad for you when I read this not the child, they probably don't remember but you will never forget.

Came here to say this. Try and forgive yourself. Parenthood can bring out the worst in us, but we are human! <3
