Hate
jackson:
Hey everyone! Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in.
Unfortunatly I have alot of experience in this area. Not with my attitude, fortunatly God has put me on a pretty even keel--even to the point where I've been mistaken as apathetic--I'm very passionate just not overly emotional. But from my vantage point I've witnessed someone very close to me dealing with bouts of hatred, rage, violence...It's one of the saddest things to watch someone have to try and cope with because first of all there is no reasoning with them and secondly if you try the anger (like what you did with your mother Alex) getts turned on you.
You are so right Matt, anger WILL ruin relationships. You know swollen hands will eventually heal but the emotional scares just linger and fester if not cared for. On that note...Alex, go appologize first to your mother and then to Jacquline; be only sincere and honest and don't preface it with a "it was partly your fault"--thats just twisting the knife.
I have been dealing with this anger issue for over 10 years now, so I've become somewhat of an expert at dealing with the emotions involved. I still get hit by the bullets (quite a bit actually) but they don't hurt as much any more :'(. My skin has grown very thick; this I do realize is regretable; however when in a relationship that can reach critical mass very quickly you have to put up some walls (sometimes BIG ones). Thats why Alex you need to reconcile with these people you care for before the anger has a chance to take root. Some walls are impossible to see over they are so big.
Our anger only serves to inslave us. I you are not in control of it, it will consume you, you are a slave to it, it is your master. Lets not serve this grotesque idol. Instead we should put all our faith in our one true Master-Jesus Christ. Give over to him these things that would rule over us. He will put them under foot.
I like very much what Darren said about "no one being able to make you smile, laugh, or anger" --very wise indeed.
Matt, sorry if I ignored you in my little rant. I have no worries when it comes to your anger issues-cause I don't percieve you as having any (none that can't be tempered anyway). But how long did it take you to get to where you are in your walk with Christ? These things don't happen over night (in my case 10 long years and counting still), it's a maturation process.
Alex, Brother, I have no doubts you can handle this if you ask Christ for help. He will help you, He will give you the strength and patientce needed to overcome. I am continually amazed at the overwhelming gift of knowledge He has given you at such a young age.
In His Grace,
Jackson

anger and hate can take us down. Way down. It is hard to swallow pride and make apologies but in the long run you'll be better off.

Hey all, ty for the great replies.
To update you on my situation, my hand still hurts like no other, i think its healing wrong lol, i havn't seen a doctor yet and it was swollen to the size of a goose egg.
I have apoligized to my mother, and told her she was right for what she did, and i was in the wrong. Now i have to apoligize to jacqueline - That will be the hard part.
Thank you all and God bless,
Alex
