Anger Or Nerves?
Just a quick blog in response to another blog I read.
I was reading a blog written by Freddie which was about letting go of your anger.
My family got together for Thanksgiving like they always do. We were having a great time. My nephew said something that hit a raw nerve and out of nowhere I got very upset with him.
My question is was this a raw nerve or suppressed anger? I guess I will never know. What I do know is that when I see my nephew again for Christmas I owe him an apology.
Freddie was correct in that you shouldn't suppress anger, which I have a tendency to do, because you NEVER know when it will rear it's ugly head.

Elaine, it could have been a little of both anger and nerves but we won't know that for sure. Or maybe we might know because you have been angry at something and misdirected at your nephew and it could have been nerves with you just moving and finally getting settled in a new place.
Things can get frustrating and overwhelming because of the holidays. This is a natural feeling with all the festivities going on. Anger and Nerves are the most two things that start acting up.
I hope this helps you out

You are so very welcome and I hope that helped you out some.
Don't worry about it when you see you nephew at Christmas just go and apologize to him and if you can't wait that long call him if you can and talk with him over the phone and explain to him what is going on and he will forgive you. I hope this helps you out.

Elaine,
When it comes to family you know what they say
"You can pick your friends, unfortunately, you are stuck with
your relatives :("

Hi Elaine, you would not be human if you didn't get angry. Realizing the fact that you want to apologize to your nephew takes a lot of courage and character.
Hey Michael,
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog. I feel that is what I should do because I need to open the direct line of conversation.

There is so much that we as humans do not yet understand, or fail to grasp due to needing to believe without seeing, that it exists!
Years ago my son sent me a link to a documentary that has forever changed me and gave me greater understanding into what God tells us to believe in things unseen!
I have sinced learned there are special times when things will spin on a dime and change. Yet they were destined to propel us forward for the better as long as we reach within and see the lesson being taught without judging another or self! Growing pains of life never cease, always a lesson to learn.
Omward and forward with a bit more wisdom and with a bit less burdened weight! Be blessed !

Hi Elaine,
Im sorry to read that a comment from a close to you can affect you this much.
My point of view on this situation is, it might be both the raw nerve and suppress anger.
Maybe that day, you didn't feel to received that kind of information and you reacted right away.
Maybe it's a situation that you already face in your life and when that happen you didn't say something on the moment, and now because a similar situation happen again, you just said your thoughts.
I like the fact that, if you recognize that you reacted and you need to apologize, well I have a lot of respect for it. It take a lot of strength.
I hope, from an outside point of view, will help you in the process
Best Regards,
Mathieu
Hey Matheo,
Thanks for reading and commenting on my blog. I feel like this may have been a mix of both BUT an apology is definitely in order.

Things like that happen to all of us. You probably had the raw nerve because of some suppressed anger. I might suggest getting the apology done before Christmas and that tension will be gone before the holiday :-)
Hey Lynne,
Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog. I wish I could apologize sooner than Christmas but I don't see him until then.
