Anger

Anger.  It's a normal human emotion, often in response to stress.  Some people use it to motivate themselves and/or others.  Others use anger to burn off steam.  I get angry, just like anyone.  Driving to work I often get angry at other drivers-- and usually I am being unreasonable, quite frankly.  I don't flip anyone off or yell out the window, I just grouse to myself.  

I am angry about the current political situation in this country.  

But I am also the butt of anger.  The mother of two of my kids, who lives with me, also gets angry.  Often. Not necessarily with me, but she takes it out of me. Her job is demanding, she is under a lot of pressure.  So she gets mad.  At me, at our daughters.  I am worried that they are learning that anger is OK.  

Anger is her default emotion.
