Anger Management Support Group

Anger management commonly refers to therapeutic techniques by which someone with excessive or uncontrollable anger can control or reduce their emotions. Typical examples include the use of deep breathing and meditation as a means to relaxation. Psychologists recommend a balanced approach, which both controls the emotion and allows it to express itself in a healthy way.

My dad and I just got into another HUGE argument! He even said "F... You!" I didn't even swear at him but he insisted on swearing at me. I tried reminding him that he knows I have bad mental health issues, but he still was a jerk about it. I even said that I know I am always angry. I am crying right now! I can't take this BS anymore! He treats me like dirt. I seriously need to move out of this house!

I had to move back in with my parents after my divorce. But I can't take this anymore. I don't have a job right now so I have no way of living on my own. I don't know what to do right now. I am so upset. I can feel my heart breaking.

Is this a new attitude toward you or has he always been mean to you? Do you have your own room that you can go to? Maybe once the two of you have had a chance to calm down, you can talk about what set off this argument? Are you okay now? Hugs

He has had an attitude problem for as long as I can remember. We argue a lot. Yes I do have my own room. I am feeling a little better now, but I am still irritated, that's for sure.

Every time you are faced with such situations, its time to change your focus. Since he has had an attitude problem, he can change only if he wishes to change and its also very essential to understand that you being a part of the family will always be a soft target for him. So, don't let such things hamper your well being and happiness. Focus on things which will make you happy and don't let anyone's past behavior hamper your present..

I'm sorry to hear that, about what your Dad said to you, mjones0608; Your Dad shouldn't have spoken to you like that, and he should be giving you support and respect.

I'm sorry about your dad. He shouldn't speak to you that way. I Hope when you're both calm you can sit down and have a heart to heart about it.

I also feel stuck in my living situation by financial circumstances.
I don't have enough light in my room, and my apartment's kinda dirty and old and falling apart, with a landlord who doesn't much care. My roommate's a slob. We get along fine, but she's a slob, which grosses me out. Among other things her stuff's been sprawled in the middle of the living room for weeks. Tonight I came home to see she had put a bunch of my stuff in a paper trash bag....it pissed me off that she touched my stuff, especially since her shit's all over, and I've made efforts to clear shelf space,
I know it's a totally different situation, but having your space feel violated sucks.
