Hi everyone, Im am on lesson 6 and learning about anger, well i never knew how angry i was until my nephews wedding this past saturday. my brother and I have not spoken in 2 years, it is a long story, but we had an argument, more like I had an argument with his wife, well they all showed up at the wedding and I was extremely mad, i dont know why i was mad at them but i wanted to say something bad,(I didnt) i was very confused that night, and the next day also, after listening to lesson 6 I am still working through alot but I think i am in the process of forgiving them, family squabbles are tough, are there any of you who have had similar problems?, help me out here Thanks Eric

Family squabbles, oh yeah, I know it well. I can understand your struggle. It is very hard. You can choose your friends and associates. You don't have a choice in family. They are yours, for life. So there is even stronger desire, or should we say: "Expectation", to make it work.
I had such a "perfect" picture of my family. So when it didn't turn out that way, the disappointment made me even angrier.
Lesson 6 certainly helps a lot. Reminding me that I do have a choice in whether I allow these to affect me. Well, as to doing it, I am still practicing .
