I am a bad dad.
I have much too short of a fuse to anger, and lack the patience to reliably be there for my daughter.
She is currently in the transition from pre-k to kindergarten, and struggling with it because she knows that her pre-k friends will all be going to different schools than her. And she is acting out about it. A lot.
Tonight we had an issue at bedtime about a specific toy that had been taken away for the night due to her actions. Turned into a full meltdown that went on long enough that I lost my temper. And it happened. I yelled at her, in her face, and loud. I, a grown ass man, was yelling at a child. Like a fucking asshole.
I am not cut out for this. She deserves better. She shouldn’t be stuck with such a shit dad like me. And I don’t know what to do to fix this.
