My mom passed away in September 2004 and one night shortly after her death I was in an extremely foul mood. I had friends and loved one over who were trying to cheer me up but I was just taking out my anger on the situation at them.

They all kept looking at each other with a look that said "She is just angry about what's happened don't take her seriously." That made me even angrier so I became even meaner.

All of a sudden, it felt like I received a swift kick to the rear end and I was nowhere near anyone in the room. From then on, I stopped taking out my anger on them for fear that my mom would give me a swift kick to the rear again.

We all get angry and frustrated at times, but instead of channeling your anger at friends and family, who are trying to help, channel the anger and frustration to something healthy which benefits both you and society. Then the anger will actually have a positive meaning.

Was that your own experience? The sentence: "She is just angry about what's happened don't take her seriously." leads me to believe this is not really you?

If it is you, are you a woman?

It's just a thought found on the Internet, And I am male, at least I was before they got me neutered.
