What Makes You Angry Today?

I'm sick of the ups and downs I mean who doesn't like the ups but the downs really sucks the holidays are really getting worse as the years go by and I feel bad because I want to be excited for my kids but I'm not

Tank,

I don't know what kids would do to my life right now. It's bad enough keeping up with a wife who is from another country so different from ours. My hats off to anyone who has to deal with more than one kid.

I agree Tank: but I do well enough to either fake it for their pleasure or get in the game enough when I can feed off their energy & innocence. My kids give me reason to do better and face my beast, they also provide obvious chaos but we are honest with each other and they are growing up learning to avoid Dad's triggers without needing to be psychologists.

It's just frustrating the older boys know they can tell, but the girls are younger and don't know yet. I hate hurting their feelings I feel like a monster.

Kids are smart and resilient. How old are they? I have an 19 year old that is a true blonde, she still does not understand and deliberately pushes my buttons.

My boys are 15 and 14. My oldest son I've always called him my little man, he's always just understood. My you get son has asbergers so he is a hugger and I don't like to be touched it's harder on him. The girls are 8 and 3, they are the ones that get the brunt of it cause they are so young they don't know the "boundaries" yet. I always make sure I tell them I love them and apologize after, but it doesn't make me feel any better

My daughter was born 2 months before I was diagnosed. She won't know me any other way.

When I got back from Iraq my son was 9, soon after that things went pair shaped and the wife decided she could not hack it and moved out of the city, my son stayed with me. He is now 16 and has had constant anger problems, suspended from one school six times or more in five years and then when I sent him to live with is mother it got worse and he was suspended five times in three months and finally expelled.

My therapist said that no matter how your home is, as long as the values you teach your children are right, that is all that matters. They will make their own up in the long run.

The other children have found their way, even the step children. One of them, Desmond who is now 21, calls me Dad and his father Richard, so I must have done something right. He left school even earlier and was a long haired 'EMO' or emotional child as they called it and now he is a personal trainer.

Your kids will find their way and when they eventually ask you why, make sure you tell the truth which I know you will.

I'll do that thanks Jimmy

I discovered that others install the buttons to push and dont even realize it sometimes. Makes for a rough roller coaster ride. I had to denounce DRAMA and gossip. I lost some people I loved because of it, but there is so much less drama and chaos now that I am better off and so are they. Oh ya, it is lonely. I had to ask what is worse? Me bouncing off the walls all the time or feeling lonely. I chose lonely and I hate lonely.

Let me count the ways that today has been a terrible f*cking useless waste of the day
This'll go to men and women how far would you go being called a stupid bitch any worthless bitch and a terrible wife without finally flipping your f*cking lid?
I'm sitting in my car right now with the heat on with the flat f*cking tire so I can't leave
Where the hell am I supposed to go anyway

Sounds like someone should have left the area before those words were exchanged.

We say some stupid things if the situation doesn't diffuse quickly.
