It is easy to unleash the "Papa Bear" from within you. I have been there, and it isn't easy.
Papa Bear attacks, bottom line...
You hurt my kids ??
Papa Bear makes Honey Badger look like a wind up toy.....
The problem that I had, was that Papa Bear put me in situations that I wasn't ready to be put into, and using words I really didn't mean. Usually, at the worst possible time.
So I had to learn how to cage Papa Bear for the really big stuff, and keep him caged for the stuff that I knew that I could handle without him...
Once I learned the triggers for Papa Bear, I learned how to control him.
The hard part, for me, was learning the big stuff, from the small stuff.
