The Little Blue Book

ACCEPTANCE 1 It’s not “someone else’s fault” So, it’s their fault that you’re angry! You wouldn’t be angry if they were different… if they didn’t push you… if they didn’t…! Well, bulldust. If you are going to get control of your anger, you are going to have to get off your ‘high horse of self-righteousness’. Uncontrolled anger at home, where your children and loved ones expect to always feel safe, loved and protected, is always ugly and always a betrayal of their love and trust. Anger and control at home is commonly about power and entitlement. Your anger is your choice, and your failure. Accept it, get help.

If a crisis, call: Triple Zero (000) For advice: 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) ABOUT ANGER Children exposed to dysfunctional, abusive or violent adults can carry lifelong psychological injury.
