Anger Quick Facts
TOOLS TO COPE:
If you are living with someone who is having a hard time staying in control, you both need some tools to cope.
PARENTS MANAGING ANGER: Part A
Understanding Parents Good Intentions. There are four basic ways that well-intentioned parents unsuspectingly turn their children into "raging," out of control little monsters and completely destroy their own children's self-respect all in the name of love. The most popular emotional wrecking tool with parents is over-criticism. The slogan of the over-critical parent is "I'll get that kid to shape up even if it kills him! After all, its for his/her OWN good! They will thank me some day!"
PAREANTS MANAGING ANGER : Part B
The child (victim) of the over-critical parent's "good intentions" soon starts to feel that he or she just can't do anything right! Whenever he or she falls short of perfection, they are made to feel they are a total screw up. And he now begins to feel that, since he or she has failed to live up to their parent's impossibly high standards and expectations, he doesn't therefore deserves their love and respect. A deep and dark feeling of "self-contempt" (anger at self) and worthlessness overwhelms him to the point of self-destructive behavior.
