I think your irony was more sarcasm, something I used to indulge in until someone wise explained to me what using sarcasm really means.
When I asked what were you needing, perhaps asking what were you feeling would have been clearer. But you answered it, I think by saying your "quick temper" is an issue. It's good that you recognize that, now what will you do about it?
The good news is, having the same issue resurface gives you more opportunity to make changes. That's where the growth happens, when we no longer blame others for our feelings but take full responsibility for our feelings and our reactions.
I wish you luck.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
