I had no idea it was nearly impossible for people not to be angry in response to a loved one's anger. I always look to find out what's the root cause and address resolving it, but that always makes them even more angry. I figure if it were me that were angry, I would want the root cause to be remedied. Apparently, that's not what an angry person wants at all. Not at all. No, they want me to be angry, or at least to appear to be angry.

My mother used to say "Misery loves company." I think I understand that better now.

Imagonna go practice pouting like a 4 year old child now. hahahaha!
