A great read even if you don't have a parent that has had severe failures.

My parents were loving and calm and, I found out later, one was very weird (I won't say more) with my older siblings but strangely never with me.

But I sometimes lose my temper with my young child (certainly not violent but I'm not proud of how I act), for reasons that feel very valid in the moment. This article is a helpful reminder to keep perspective.
