Yelling

How on earth do you change the habits of someone who yells ALL the time about everything?!? It's a product of his upbringing and no matter how much I remind him, he just thinks he is not yelling and raises his voice more. I am so tired of engaging this. I shut down and speak in a whisper and he thinks I am yelling at him!

If a grown man can't control himself, how does he expect to parent traumatized children who this can trigger? No matter how much we discuss it and he says he does better, every day, including in front of the current placement he just keeps doing it.

I am so sick of yelling matches! I know I need to disengage and just walk away, but it is a harpy and just keeps picking. He does it with everyone.

Have I made a huge mistake?
