I am 23 years old, my parents tell me have always had this poison inside me when it comes to anger, since I was about 4. I am the same as my Dad, our temprement is uncanny, he has always been prone to angry outburts for the slightest little thing.
As I have got older I have recognised this and gradually dealt with it before it erupts, however, just started a new relationship with a lovely guy and I flipped, I had quite a lot to drink (half litre Jack Daniels) and want to know am I the only one? Is it possible for anger to take hold of you when you are not looking? I talk to people close to me and they tell me I am so placid and funny, always making people laugh and fun to be with so why does this happen just when you don't want it to? Maybe it's my way of letting him know that there is this side to me and maybe sometimes it does rear its ugly head. He tells me I am the most beautiful girl he has ever met, now he thinks he's got Jekyl and Hide for a girlfriend. How do I reassure him that this is a part of me I can control (to an extent) Shall I promise to limit my alcohol intake? Anyone else find this problem, you can control it in balanced mind but anebriated one it goes pear shaped? Or will time and patience prevail? Any comments would be kindly received.
