After I calmed down we had a long talk about why I was triggered.   It actually took me a while to figure it out.

I think, but can't be sure, that it was because I am feeling REALLY guilty about having my lifegroup girls over and so I was trying to do nice things and be sensitive.  When I got home the first thing out of Middle Boy's mouth was an accusation.

I desperately want to be a good mom.  Sometimes I am harsh.  I was already feeling guilty...BAM...big feelings.

We talked about how we are all hurtful when we are triggered.

Sometimes it is good to just reconnect.
