hi kara lynne
boy i am on a roll with the anger posts tonight. might as well keep on typing.
for you, my dear, i present the anger toolkit: possible conversation pieces based on the detailed information you've given me.
try these on:
for your mom:
"<brother's name> is an adult. if he is angry with me, he can speak to me himself. i don't want to discuss this with you."or maybe 30 seconds into the call -
"somebody's at the door, bye mom!"for your brother:
"pardon me? i don't appreciate being told to shut up."you could also include a little thing like, "i treat you with respect, and i expect you to treat me the same way."
i'll be here all night :)
