When I saw the bite mark, my heart broke. As I wore his pants and saw another red angry mark on his other thigh, I felt a little something die inside.
While all I wanted to do was to shout at you, I know that wouldn’t do anything. In fact, if I shouted at you, it would have been the same as what You have done to him!
Often I know he pushes you to the limits and way beyond.... but someday I hope u learn how to manage your anger and conquer it with patience.
Raising your hand in threats of beating him, or in fact really beating him will not work for long.
If anything, given his character, I believe nothing good will come out of it.
Would it release the frustration at that moment? Maybe. Would it make him scared at that moment? Maybe.
But 1 fine day.... just 1 day soon, after 1 such beating, he will no longer turn back to you and call u papa in such a passive manner. Or look at you with fear and regret.
He will remember the pain u have inflicted on him. The pain will bring along some anger and resentment towards you. And then everything changes.
You are NOT this person. Why do you let your anger go uncontrolled so often?
Pause. Think. Don’t regret.
When u get angry, I always fear that u’ll lose control and that you’ll make the stupidest actions that will change our lives forever.
Words and actions can hurt long after it’s said and done..
“A moment of patience in a moment of anger saves you a hundred moments of regret.”
I’ll always remember that day when we were younger. Mummy got so angry with boy2 which teaching him that she threw the pen on the table with anger. And somehow the pen bounced of the table and flew towards his eye..
It left a bad cut right above his eye and it bled badly. Being a young kid then, I was shocked.
To this day, it has left a scar on boy’s2 eyelid.
Imagine how one’s life would change if it had gone into The eye instead?
Would that moment of misbehaving be worth the anger that caused the lost of sight in 1 eye?
That incident also left me with the reminder that in anger we do certain things that even how much we regret after, it may be too late to undo it.
So I sincerely and seriously Pray that you will learn how to manage your anger. May you yearn to have the extra patience towards your child(ren). And may you have the wisdom to choose to keep your hands (and teeth) away from causing physical and mental pain toward him.
I love you bb... please don’t break my heart more by hurting our boy... Today, u made me really hurt and broken inside to see that ure able to inflict such injuries onto your own kid.
He may have been an ass, but he’s just a kid.
If u didn’t bite or whack an adult that pissed you off, why do you let yourself bite a kid?
And he’s YOUR OWN KID!
As a mother, I worry... I’ll be honest.. I worry that one day u’ll lose it and hit him or maybe even me...... maybe I worry too much but it’s easy once it becomes a habit.
Dear God, I pray.... please don’t let this ever happen again.......
