About Anger
About You!
I recently took my father-in-law to his doctor for a check-up. Shortly after Dad was escorted back to the examining rooms, two men also in the waiting room began a political argument that eventually became so intense they were standing nose-to-nose screaming at each other. The argument was still raging after my father-in-law was done with his appointment. We were relieved to escape!
I was raised in a family in which yelling just didn’t happen, so my coping mechanisms aren’t the best when it comes to loud vocal expression. I usually cry when someone is angry with me or even when I’m the one who’s angry. I’m glad for my peaceful childhood, but I’m pretty sure that crying isn’t a great answer to anger. Sometimes you need to vent.
So…About you. How do you vent your anger? Please give me some options for the characters in my novels!
Blessings,

anger.. a difficult one for me. I was raised in a family in which yelling happened all the time, because of that I REALLY dislike yelling, screaming, raising of the voice, I can not bear loud sounds even!
Being angry makes me confused and sad and I just dont know how to deal with it. Therefore I bottle it up and become scatter brained, quiet and withdrawn.
I have learned over time that bottling things up is not very good for me, so when I am angry or over- emotional about things I chat with my husband (whom I believe is wise) and try and resolve issues that cross my path with him.
That’s such a wise way to deal with anger, Jackie. I need to learn from you!
