Here comes a book highly recommended to young men who may fall prey to controlling, manipulative and destructive women. No, this is not a book written by the wounded man, but instead, is the work of two writers who boldly present the realism so often ignored in our society and general public: the natural instinct that "attorney's may have already learned" -- says one comment; that women can steep to such depths of destructive behavior so as to leave even the seemingly knowing scarcely aware or expectant. | VenusDarkSide_AboutBook_2009.pdf | |

| The Great Santini by Pat Conroy | |||
|
During my perusal of the subject (both anger and depression), I came across this long-familiar, recommended read. Beyond the apparent subject of military life is the heartfelt story of abusive family setting and how the greatest challenge for The Great Santini is allowing his family to love him....On a personal note - and related to this Website - this is the first book posting of it's kind; that is, a personal-based story. What is additionally noteworthy, is | GreatSatani_Conroy_2009.pdf | |
"Angry,
unmotivated, and disinterested teens, whether Christian or not, are made in
the image of God. That means that beneath their corrupted desires and
actions the image of God remains."
- GET OUTTA MY FACE, Preface by Rick Horne
Fear and Anger are connected; where there is anger there is also fear. Perhaps this relationship will be better understood with an simple example: a "bully" harasses you at school and, being who he is, you are afraid of him - but at the same time - you are angry, even furious. You feel threatened by the person who can hurt you; and though afraid for good reason, you are angry. Another example might be a near-accident while driving: when another driver causes a near-accident, you feel threatened...and you can become angry too.
Both the examples above are typical: near-accidents and bully's have been around for the ages...so to experience such causes for fear is not new (at least not for other people). The reaction of both fear and anger is natural; you were born with this capability as a means of protection -- even survival. Impulsively, you will experience an Adrenaline Rush or what's sometimes called a "flight or fight" response. If you have incurred one or more of these experiences, you may remember feeling a tightening of your muscles -- which is part of the bodies' reaction to this type of experience.
With
my limited understanding of anger but with the usual zeal to learn more,
I embark on yet another effort or experience of my own. Most likely
armed with a collection of good resources - such as the book sited above - my
objective is to learn (and to convey) more on this critical behavior in
the lives of adolescents. The reason for this effort has to do impart
with the association of anger in the lives of children that is fostered through
personal tragedies and losses; and for my own children's losses through divorce
and its consequences. I do not know what awaits me;
but I do know it will help me understand my children...and perhaps help me to
help them some day.
