      Every Mother Can Keep Her Cool - Julie Barnhill

      another.

      Just between you and me—each word of experience, prayer, insight, gentle warning, and real-life proof of lasting change mentioned within these pages was first tested and lived out (for better or worse) in my own family relationships as a mom.

      You are not alone. Thousands upon thousands of women have shared with me personally via conversation, email, phone calls, or handwritten letters that, yes, even tough mothers struggle with matters of anger, feeling blue and depressed, fleeting humor reserves, and stress.

      The truth is, it isn’t so much about getting everything right. Who among us reading these pages could honestly claim to have done that as a mother anyway? The important thing is acknowledging specific matters in our life as a mom for which we desperately need and desire change. And I can’t think of anyone more willing and able to step up and do just that than me. So relax and stay awhile as we take a closer look at anger and discover inspirational and practical tools to deal with it.

      By telling your story, there will be times you are the lifeline for another mother.

      You will be the saving grace for her children.

      And you will be the reason that mother is able to believe she truly isn’t alone.

      Years ago, in fits of uncontrolled anger, I acted out and spoke harshly and irresponsibly to my two oldest children (now ages twenty and eighteen). And I thought even worse things than I said.

      I had no idea my children could and would provoke in me such visceral anger. My children being the operative term because I had always known other people’s kids drove me crazy. It’s one of the main reasons—well, it was the reason—I never spent much time babysitting as a teenager or college student.

      But I was the adult now.

      The adult mom of two very wanted children.

      Yet over time, increasing emotions of tension and irritation gave way and raging, boiling, uncontrollable anger spewed verbally from my mouth and was also vented physically against my kids.

      I was a mess and despised the mother I had become. So I did what I always used to do those many years
