I was really angry at YuYu the other day after his hockey practice. I said some terrible things to him during our drive back to Okayama from Kurashiki. He was very upset and felt really dejected and hurt. I should not have said what I did. I did not succeed in making him try harder; I made him feel that no matter what he does he can never do enough and will never amount to anything. Naturally when we got home Minako wanted to know what had happened and I ended up having a fight with her, too. What an awful night.

I need to make sure I don't take out my frustrations on my wife and son. I guess I should also learn how to talk with him constructively.
