ANGER means Another NegativeGrievance Explaining Rage. Several members of my family have problems with anger and lash out at others with mean words in their fits of rage. Never meaning to hurt those they love with their demeaning and cruel words, but ultimately they always do. I always try to find the cause of their anger to help myself cope with their bad behavior. My feelings have been hurt more times than I care to remember. God has made me stronger over the years of mental abuse that I have endured. He has opened my eyes to many things that have helped me understand where the hostility has come from and deal with it accordingly. I believe it has made me a better person for having gone through it. Maybe it can help you too.
ANGER means Another Negative Grievance Explaining Rage.
Despite of what some people claim that fathers are not important for the development and well being of children the fact remains that God's plan for parenthood and family life has never changed. This significance of the role of fatherhood (as well as motherhood) can never be underestimated. I have been married for over 30 years now and have raised two well adjusted sons. A recent survey conducted by a prominent doctor regarding how children learn life values and the results were as follows: 43% by parents, 38% by television, 8% by friends and 6% by teachers. If you ask 100 men if they felt close and loved by their fathers only 3 or 4 would say they did. The father-wound that injured their masculine soul is because they never felt loved by their fathers. If that would is never healed it leads to bad choices in life when they look for love in all the wrong places to fill that void caused by emotionally absent fathers. This is also true in women and their fathers. They look to the opposite sex to try to make them feel loved. They get intoxicated with passion and when that dies down they are faced with the pain and reality of their own loneliness once again. They repeat this process over and over again. Sometimes they turn to alcohol, drugs or addictive behaviors that ruin their health and never get close to the ones they love. They keep acting out until they face why they look in the wrong places for the father-love they never received as a child. The must stop their crazy behavior, admit the true need of their heart and seek the help of God and a trusted counselor if necessary to find the healing of their father-wound. Only then can they build loving relationships with the opposite sex and their own children. This will break the pattern and not pass it down the line to the next generation.
