this may be long and im sorry

ok. my dd is turning 1 in july and is starting to imitate things..and im a little nervous because of my short temper..im not a maniac..but i do have a tendency to raise my voice quicker than some people and curse in my car if i think someone is annoying me how they drive ( form of road rage i guess ) my problem is that i have NO control over it right now. especially my truck driver mouth..i hate it..and i cant be doing this..
an example of my dd imitating is that the other day she was screaming..so piercing to my ear that i got up from the table. walked away and just pretty much growled and was like" ahhh i cant take it" (did not think i was loud)well she clenched her fists and did the same..dh and i laughed but..its not funny now.

my question is..does anyone have any idea how i can stop this?or control it? im really willing to see someone about it but who..? im not an angry person..or crazy..but i just want to control my attitude. and not let my dd know that you should easily get frustrated..there are more serious things out there then some one cutting me off on the road..especially if its an accident..thanks to anyone that has the time to read this..but i want to change things..and it has to be soon.

You should certainly see a therapist, you could also consult with a psychiatrist and depending on the degree of your anger you could discuss if you need medication to help control it.
Good luck!
