It’s easy to get angry and hurt your relationships but it’s very hard to mend them afterwards.

[mitchelthinks]

wow I was just thinking of this. Thanks mark

[chrispapa]

And anger is something we choose to display, show off so that we ca scare others bully them and control them. So do not believe that anger is something that the person cannot control. Anger is their way of taking control of displaying their power, to get their need met over yours, to get their wants over yours. They are not nice and the fact that they regress is so that you can excuse them and they want you to believe that they were “out of control” but no ! They were taking control - thank you very much.
