Outburst

I don’t lose my temper often and often keep my feelings under control.

An outburst of anger always ends in me crying.

Apologising is the best way; although talking through why I got angry helps too. At home, and at work, it takes a lot for me to be annoyed, but when I do, I say things I mean, and things I do mean. Am I always right? Of course not. Sometimes it is a misunderstanding on both sides.

Sharing the reason for my outburst gives the other person a chance to voice their opinion. If I am in the wrong, I make sure they understand I am sorry. I try not to hold a grudge if they are in the wrong, and don’t give me the explanation I need.

There are many arguments I regret, and mostly with Mum. She only wanted what was best and to keep me safe. As teenagers we don’t realise the danger and you only see it when you are a mum.
