Mama, In my sitch things started getting better just after I yelled and sreamed and went apes*** on her! I didn't know I could use the F word in so many creative ways. I layed it all out for her. Do I regret it? No Way! I might have expressed certain thoughts a little differently than I did then but she got to see how much this A disturbed me. I had been using the level headed, don't screw it up kind of approach until then. She said "I thought you didn't want to handle it like this "(meaning yelling etc). I said "I guess I changed my F'ing mind, didn't I" . You could call it a 180 because I never carry on like that. So its not the end of the world, Mama. You are human and you showed it. It could actually be a good thing sometimes. It brings them back to earth and they get to see the pain they are causing through their actions. Let them deal with the real world once in a while. Just don't let loose everyday!
