What Made You Angry Today?

"Did you cook yourself lunch?"
"I couldn't."
"Why not?"
"I don't know. I just couldn't."
"But it's easy! Look at all the stuff we have that microwaves and goes in the oven!"

I just couldn't. Please just trust me. I would have if I could, I am not intentionally being difficult. I just could not today. :(
 
I am and have been angry for days about a friend of mine going through divorce. I don't understand how sweet and pure hearted individuals can be yanked around and hurt so badly. I don't understand people who say and do hateful things to people they claim to have loved so recently. I am so angry for her.
 
My father. Again.

My grandmother came in to town from Ireland and was staying with my parents. I'm angry that I had to go through them to see her. Angrier still that he knows exactly what kinds of effect he has on me, but could not just stay in another room long enough for me to pick my grandmother up. He doesn't care that it throws me into a tailspin every time. Or maybe it's that he enjoys the power that he has over me. Bastard.
 
A little angry, but mostly hurt :( by the total stranger who put an awful note on my car.

My (young adult) son is severely handicapped and in a wheelchair. Today I took him to aquatic therapy at a large recreation center where the hospital happens to do pool therapy. We have been going there for years. Anyway, all of the handicapped parking spots were taken. The facility is used by a lot of senior citizens during the day and the parking lot is often somewhat full. I have an adapted van with handicapped plates. I get my son in and out of the van using an automatic ramp that come from under the car so I need the type of handicapped spot that has the extra area alongside it. Since all of the handicapped parking was full I had to do something else to get him in and out of the van.

Much further from the door I found 2 spots together, so as I have done many times in many places before when I have had too, I parked on the line (straddling the line) so that I was taking up 2 spots but could extend the ramp. When we came back out after therapy someone had put a sign on my car.........

"You park like an INCONSIDERATE PIG!"

That really hurt.....the only other person who has ever called me a pig is my mother. I guess my days aren't hard enough, I need people like this total stranger chopping me to bits too.

Sometimes I hate this world.
 
I thought I was getting so much better that I opened myself up emotionally for the first time in six years and it was so thrilling and wonderful and then they found a lump on my breast and for about a month and a half I had the stress of tests and the terrible "not knowing" hanging over me and I snapped, more than once, quite illogically and full of uncalled-for rage at this beautiful new person in my life and lost him. It wasn't just anger, it was barely contained rage. Today I am angry with myself for thinking I was better than I was and hurting someone else because of it. My loss, more loss. One step forward and three steps back, this condition is a demon inside.
