If we aren't able to bring a steadiness to the situation quickly, someone or something gets bruised. This has been easy when I'm rested and unencumbered. Not so much when I've stayed up too late or am in traversing the valleys of life. That's what I love about being married. It is rare that we are both ill-equipped to help bring sanity to the struggles of a 4 yr old's life. Good word Charlie - may we watch ourselves and ask for help when we know we can't be the dads we want to be. As a dad of a 4yr old boy, emotional responses manifest themselves in very physical form.
