As it is, I'm a very shot-tempered person who, admittedly may act upon her anger by violently unleashing it. I remembered a time where my temperament caused me to throw a mirror wildly, thankfully, no one was in sight. I recalled little acts of violence which I lashed out on different people, embarrassed and guilty, I would not go into details.

Recently, abuse on parents has been brought to light with more parents admit that their child needs help. It makes me wonder whether these children would remember it for life. I understand anger, the need to explode once in awhile with the irritant of parents. The nagging and the occasional beating can cause the slow build up to unleash.

I find myself finding different ways to unleash it, whether to grab hold on something tightly, or even to feel a little pain. It all works. I wonder what they teach in anger management classes, how to rein in the temper before it explodes disasterly. Probably breathing exercises I suppose.
