Family Fights

Post Reply New Topic

1. How do the people in your family fight?
2. How do they make up?

1. It starts off with "You are wrong because..." and ends up as "YOU IDIOT, YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE (...), WOULD YOU DAMN WELL LISTEN TO ME AND LET ME FINISH A SENTENCE?! !!!1one"

2. Normally we just either figure out what the other person is trying to communicate, or go away, calm down and get over it.

1) Because of a misunderstanding.

2) Depending on the person, it may be: Yelling to exaustion or people taking a deep breath and talking about it then or people taking a deep breath and deciding to talk about it later or (when I get really stressed out) me 'running away' to calm down and then finding the other person to talk later.

Does this answer your question?

Fights in my home have changed over the years because I have changed them.

In my parents' home, the beatings would continue until my morale improved. This continued until I was strong enough to hit back. I never did.

I left home at the first opportunity.

Now I own my own homes and my wife and I live at an altitude that makes our parents ghasp for breath.

We don't allow yelling in our home. It frightens our dogs and they stage an intervention. When emotions run hot, we watch the dogs and when they leave, we follow our respective dog. Having an argument in tones that do not cause the dogs to leave is a serious test of one's patience. These dogs will split if I get too excited over a football game.

Our arguments rarely devolve into fights. It is hard to fight when you feel guilty for hurting your dogs' feelings.

Our fights usually end with each of us retreating to pet a dog and coming back later with gifts for the other.

My wife and I are both AS.

I think that because it was so bad in the beginning for each of us that we have fought so hard to take control and create a safe, stressfree environment.

Success is really the best revenge.

1. In the wrestling ring with the title on the line.
2. When somebody taps out.
