Thinker, FWIW, I cannot even express how much I respect how you handled to aftermath of your anger, with both wife and kidlet. That ability to see the error -- not in what you felt, but how you expressed it -- and apologize freely ... don't underestimate its value. Seriously.

Hang in there, man. You are totally worth it.
