Albatross-dont let my young people use a vacuum either, they know how to break em all. Had to send them to college to prevent a kitchen fire. LOL

Don't let you sons fix thing around the house and they won't listen to you because the male gene instinctlvely knows how to do everything mechanical so you watch them totally screw things up and tell you that you don't know what you are doing.

I got angry for the first time. My therapist is often 15 to 45 minutes late, forgets my appointment, over books, etc. I managed to get money to pay her because she helped me get through a very difficult lawsuit but I got the money to pay her back. It's like I have this "generous, caring, nice gene" that nobody else seems to have. Normally it doesn't bother me. But I told therapist off for making me come back, shorten my session to 15 minutes because she double booked.

I told her that I felt she did it because (I've heard this all my life). "Gloria is really nice, she will understand." Well, I am tired of being nice. I gave her receptionist at least 100 fresh eggs from my farm over the past three years - no kidding. Well, I thought that finally she would give me a thank you note because I did especially nice for her. Oh no! It wasn't a thank you note, it was the bill that needed to be paid.

No more nice guy. You try to keep track of stuff because it's petty but yesterday at the therapist, I realized all the gifts and home-made treats and "nice things" I did and never got mad when she stood me up. Well, my therapist told me that she took it as a very good sign that I got angry because "normal" people would get angry. Well, now I'm going to be normal and be a bitch just everybody else.

My sons are getting it from me today. As I cleaned up dirty dishes, filled ice cube trays, washed down "their bathroom" every morning like I always do - never complain. It's like I don't matter. I'm just here to serve others.

Good thread!!

I got angry again last night too Gloria, about cleaning everything when really there are 2 of us who live here. but I kept quiet until this morning, then thought it out and told hubby nicely that he should do more and not expect it all to be done for him.

See what happens now. :unsure:

Exactly,ever since my children were small, I taught them to express their anger appropriately - no yelling, simply stating how they feel using "I" statements. But honestly, every now and then when I do blow up, things change. I think the andrenaline rush they get when they see me angry gets them moving.

goingonhope-Im sorry to hear hubby did something mean Hugs

gloria-you tell um all woman.....

You know what burns my a$$, whenever my ex stops by to see daughter or pick her up, he messes with my remote control to the tv (watches game for few minutes). Next time I turn tv on-I got nothing, I cant get the normal screen that scrolls down channels and have to play with it 10-15 minutes because Im challenged. I know he does it on purpose and I want to call him and cuss him, but that would only give him pleasure so I pretend "it was not problem". Think I could connect a low voltaage shock in the recliner so that when he pushes buttons, he gets a little jolt...

Gloria, I am in the same boat with son. I have a tendency to retreat because I have been punished for being angry with him, ie, doesn't let me see my grandchildren, etc. I sent him a song from the internet by Leonard Cohen...basically it says "I loved you like a slave, where do you want your slave to go now? Where did the suffering begin"...etc. Saddest song, and exactly my feelings. He probably won't even listen to it, or will get angry, or most likely, won't even get it. I don't care anymore. I just have to focus on myself.

Yeah, you have a right to be angry with your doc (good she confirmed that!) and your sons. Since it sounds like they are still home, I say go for it! I feel that my son treats the women in his life like me, and perhaps I should have been harder on him and demanded respect. So crack the whip if you need too...you have my permission!

Hide the remote, and the feign ignorance as to its whereabouts :rolleyes:

I'm angry at me for spending a lovely day in bed until 2.30pm

I would but I have caught him with the cabinet open about to go pressing the buttons on the dvd or cable box. Cable has to be on certain channel and then you get them all from the remote??? changing that could take me an hour to figure out. He is just passive agressive-so KP, you think a shock might be over the top??lol
