I feel the same way. When I first became a "mom" (way back when) I made a vow (to myself) to pay attention to my moods...
Sorry, my browser wouldn't take all the quotings, so I had to chop some of it down. I think some people think they don't deserve help, or they just don't like fuss, I suppose. I don't like a lot of fuss MYSELF, but if, for example, one of my legs was almost hanging off, or I'd been impaled, I'd be glad of the help. I couldn't go around with my leg almost hanging off. laugh. You can never be too grateful, imo :)

I can relate...It's always been hard for me to ask for "help." And I've never wanted to be a "burden" on anyone!.. But I've had to learn to eat a little "humble pie" lately and let others "in" a little more...Sometimes "going it alone" isn't always healthy for us. I've sure had a lot of lessons to learn the "hard way" over the past couple of years..Thanks for all you shared in your post!

I think anger is mostly non-acceptance of "what is". Many people don't know how to sift through their emotions and calm their energy.

josie68...I agree. I think we all have different temperments. I'm my "Dad's daughter" in the sense that I have a "secret lion" that sits inside of me. The "lion" only comes out when needed...My "lion" doesn't "rage" at people like my Dad could do...My "lion" prefers to "stay grounded" in logic and reason and put people in "their place" in more socially acceptable ways!.. How does your son handle things? Thanks for your posts.


My son has a really quick temper, but has learnt to walk away from whatever makes him angry, he is 17 now 300 pounds and is a strong boy, so learning to control his anger was really important. He still gets angry but doesnt take it out on people.
