The UP side of Anger

Fairytale marriages are just that .This no holes barred comedy is really good value because it doesn't preach, it just reminds us of how to deal with the dragons in our lives and learn to love again and more deeply.
Teenage Daughter feeling left out, unloved and frustrated with her mothers high expectations and mums own personal limits in full view of everyone  - who wouldn't feel frustrated !!!!!
after honestly putting this to her mum  " you used to be so sweet " ( and successful)  she says "you don't seem to love me " ( this girl tries really hard and mum is " never happy " with her efforts ( bit like sin is to God  )
Implication " am I hopeless?" Cause i am sure feeling it right now

No she says " your just like a lot of people in my life at the moment .You need to listen MORE CLOSELY to what I say !
Point taken
Don't let the determinists and faith deniers kill your appreciation of the need to deal with anger and the demons within.  Strong women and strong men are those who use nature as a base , not as a bottom line, or worse an excuse. The DJ

Talk about an embarassing parent - a bloody mary driven tirade at a restuarant .
Take your teenagers along for the ride !!!!

Anger is a truly frightening thing -but is it all bad as post modernists have convinced us to believe? Anger with those you love can be frightening - really frightening enough to never deal with it -'to sit on it ;--to pretend its "not there"-which is not good in itself , Great book by little elf book might help you - certainly did me . Bless you

How then did YOU respond to the film "Anger management-2003" with Jack Nicholson " Going on the numbers of notoriously real characters who appear the story, it was one that had lots of appeal for the contributors to say something . But what was it really saying? I found it more like hard therapy than comedy so what was the lesson that the hero Adam sandler "learnt".It wasn't a film story as much as a form of release -good release in the sense that we need to let our anger out ( that is for sure) What the film does NOT do very well is bring us back to reality and dealing with anger and adrenalin , hypocrisy, putdowns and pushups . The real Busnik would still end up alone and angry because anger doesn't resolve the problem of his self centeredness ; his relationships are shallow and his associates don't adjust to each other- they PUT up with each other meaning more explosions likely in the next edition of this fantasy- .Like the rest of the class(and the stadium audience) they wants marriage but don't want to pay for it _ talks freedom and loose living and doing "what you like" . a very incomplete and frustrating ride
