I feel so guilty...

Dear Nicky, Most of the time I'm pretty patient with you. I think I'm reasonably objective about this. But this morning i was not. I wanted you to go on the potty and you refused, basically turning into a bag of jelly with a bad attitude, and I snapped and yelled at you. You looked stricken, and I immediately felt ashamed. I felt bad all day till you got home and I apologized during dinner. You, being the soul of forgiveness, forgave me at once, and I was whole again, but karma is a cruel mistress and a few minutes ago, you had a bad dream that made you cry out, "Stop, stop! Oh, stop it!" Now, realistically this probably wasn't related to my yelling at you, but it might have been, and that made feel ashamed of myself all over again. Always remember, tomorrow is a new day. Love, Dad
