I cannot recommend enough a book about Emotional Intelligence or EQ. Men when viewed thru the lens of toxic masculinity tend to be unable, to talk about their emotions and the only acceptable emotion is violence and anger. Even though I'm a woman, while I was going thru therapy post-divorce my therapist mention I had stunted EQ that reminded him a lot of the men he saw in his practice. He is the one who got me started on increasing my EQ.
This is the book I am currently reading about it.

One of the things I had to do was learn when I was really anger vs sad. Being sad wasn't acceptable but being angry was. I also had to learn I could be both at the same time. The emotional state isn't binary, and more than two emotions can be driving the car at the same time. The thing that really helped me was increasing my Emotional Intelligence. A key part of that is naming your emotions. I recommend it highly recommend working on your emotional intelligence. I have had fewer outbursts the more I have worked on my EQ.
This is the book I am really right now.

That's really tough and good on you for your self awareness!
Overly strict can really hurt your child in their ability to problem solve, be independent, etc. It can also lead to rebellion, lies and sneaking. It might sound basic, but if there are other parents you admire, follow their lead or ask their advice.
Also listen to your spouse/ partner
