What Made You Angry Today?

[GreenFrog2]

yeah I think it does - hope he gets the support that he needs.

Thanks GreenFrog2. I still haven't heard anything. I hope he is okay and that he got help.

Update on my friend's suicide threat. Sent the police. Had no call back, so I contacted a mutual friend of his sister's. Apparently, he sent the same threat to her and she also called the cops. She said that he has been having medical and marriage problems, that he was doing it for attention, and that it would be better for me to have nothing to do with him.

Still haven't heard from him. Glad he is okay(?), but wish he would contact me and let me know what in the world is wrong with him. Though, I really do not need anything toxic in my world. Is that selfish? Can't see turning him away if he contacted me.

Looking up artical after article online for advice on being a troubled senior getting through the holiday season, and reading the 'cheerful' suggested solutions. NOT! They make me so angry! They are NOT what I need, but what I need probably isn't sensible. I need quite, announced, specific visitors...and a plate of food brought over with a short visit to see how I'm doing and if I need anything. I need help getting drapes up and I need help dusting. I don't have the drive to do it. I need an offer to be taken to a small grocery store, or to the drive-thru for a fish sandwich. I need my anxiety medication in order to be with you, and then I'll be sleepy from it. I need them to know I don't give a damn about the holidays, and that most of my memories of them remind me of some of my abuse and loss. I dwell on this or that of these types of things and feel a low grumbly rage deep inside me...daily. The poor person who unknowingly sets it off never sees it coming because he won't get educated, and then he gets his feelings hurt and in my state of rage I need to worry about HIS feelings. Sigh.

My eldest son not taking his studies or his chores seriously. Then it makes me mad because I hear my sister's voice in the back of my head saying that I am "tattling" if I discuss this. Of course she never is.

I get angry when I hear about people not taking care of their children.

Driving around the parking lot for 20 min., I am way out in the lot! I pull in to park look in front of me and there's a car full of gang members sitting in the car. I back out drive down the block there is no parking anywhere. I go back to the spot, there still sitting in the car. I drove up to the front door of the hotel and parked, went in to the front desk and explained. Sweet gal sent someone to check them out and said to leave my car where I was.

Had a great time once I got above the anxiety!

Angry about car mechanics trying to start in with their 'Safety issue' schpiel like I don't know any better. I cut him off before he was even done with the first sentence. I'm not a car expert, but I do know I'm not an idiot, thank you very much. You're not going to scare me into spending more than I can afford so either fix what I came in for, or I'll take it to someone who will. And after that...he comes down on the price into the price range I can pay, even though I told him I could only afford a hundred less than that. I hate games. I hate playing them and I hate having them played on me. Why does every mechanic do this to me? I must look like some dumb brawd that leaks spare change.

 

[Britt.f7]

Traumagirl, I feel the same way about children. I only hope that that is never me. Tried to quote you but it wouldn't do it.

Angry about car mechanics

I feel the same way about most car mechanics. My husband took our truck in for an oil change and some minor other things. It ended up costing us around $300. I was so mad at them. I don't think they told my husband the price and he didn't ask. But when I showed up to pay and saw what some of the charges were for, most of them "just looking" at things, I was livid. At that point I couldn't get them to decrease it, but we never went back.

Today, I am not angry with anyone or anything. But the day is early! :hilarious:

 

[Deleted member 12723]

I got angry at myself. I do not get angry when people run roughshod over me. I feel sad and miss them. What is wrong with me? I need to be mad. How in the heck am I going to get myself back? I need to get mad. I need to remember this. I am learning so much right now.

Today my friend told me about a colleague who told her something. This colleague's kindy child had asked his dad when he was being put to bed if his dad could kiss him on the mouth the special way with mouths open that is so special that he must not talk about it. His dad is completely shocked.

They eventually coax out of the boy that his little kindy friend had told him about the special kiss on the mouth that his dad gave him at night with open mouths that is so special that they must not talk about it to anyone else.

The mother of this little boy is also dressing the boy in pink and buying him girl's toys because she has 3 boys and wanted this boy to be a girl so she is going to treat him like one.

So the parents report the incident to DOCS.

DOCS told them this incident was not a matter worth investigating.

You have to be kidding me. And after all the revelations about Jimmy Saville recently where everybody turned a blind eye. What does DOCS require for a matter to be investigated?

One of my abusers was a psychology major at a private college and I have come to accept that he knew full well what he was doing to me and the devastating affect it would have on me, but that he chose to do it anyway.

Today I am angry that he was such a sick *(#^$@!*^&# and that he was so selfish and low as to abuse a child!!! I am angry that he projected his insecurities onto me and that he betrayed and violated me so completely. It has taken many years to feel this anger towards him because I had assigned blame to myself (which makes me even more angry). I generally do not like to feel anger, but this time it feels empowering and I am happy for it.
