Angry

I woke up today and the light was coming in around the blinds. It looked cold on the walls. I woke up thinking of snow. Of course there is no snow here. But I remember snow. I don't remember any real specifics about why it is bad, I just know that it is. And I know that I resent the sorry excuse for parents that set me up to live this way. Sometimes it seems like every moment I ever spent with them has tainted every single thing that was in my environment at the time.

After I fought my way through the 'snow', I had to listen to the husband yelling at the baseball game on TV. Dad and brothers. Then the husband burned up food in the kitchen again and did not turn on the exhaust fan or open a window. The Grandparent's kitchen.

I'm sick and goddamn tired of this shit. Even though I have pretty much always lived this way, I can't imagine spending the rest of my life like this. I won't do it. I refuse. I really hate my family. Right now I would love nothing better than to tell my mother, in my most cutting and offensive manner, why she is the object of my hatred. Yes, I would delight in the turmoil it would cause her. Fucking bitch. Why do I feel like persecuting her and not my father? Just because she is alive. I guess that makes us even.

  2. For me anger is freeing to some extent. Every single little thing I do takes a lot of energy. Until I get angry, then the burden lets up a little. It is then that I realize I had been angry before I even KNEW that I was angry and by recognizing WHY I am angry, some of the energy that I was using to squash that down can be used for other things.

  3. Lynn I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I know what it is like to be angry at one's parents because I have been there. I'm glad you were able to let off some steam. That always helps to get it out.

  4. I know what you mean by the anger being freeing. For me it's a build up. The tension increases, and the effort to hold it down gets bigger and bigger until I no longer have the energy to hold it. Releasing the anger is such a stress relief for me. And it's also why being around ppl is so tiring... having to hide everything and be "normal" just takes up too much energy.
