I spent most of the time with my son yesterday talking about our family therapy session. He seemed very interested in hearing about my anger, in how I was mean to the dog and what my homework assignment was. He then talked about a couple of incidents where his anger suprised him. I was both glad to have him confide in me, and amazed to hear it. I had no idea that he got this mad. He doesn’t quite understand this anger of his but of course, I’m thinking it’s connected to me somehow, that the times in his childhood when I yelled too harshly or bullied him have scarred him somehow and that when someone disses him and doesn’t let up, he retaliates in kind. I feel kind of ashamed about this, but I guess all I can do is just keep working on it and let him know how it goes.
