I can't stand that. Where do you find such light bulbs? I need some. If someone laughs at me when I’m angry, they are darn lucky if I don’t kill them. I can’t stand that.

He laughed at me twice and acted like his nastiness wasn't any big deal and that I should be willing to put my hand in the sink and remove a plate swimming in nasty water. He laughed at me, actually laughed and had that stupid smile on his face and I just lost it. While doing so I myself was stunned but made no attempt to stop. At that point I realized my response was like that of Junior. I went off but not over a split plastic bag. As much cursing as I do on this blog one might think I often go off in my real life but I don't. Senior and I don't have a lot of screaming matches. This was very much out of the ordinary. What Junior does is common. He throws stuff, hits the walls and curses and screams like a child over the smallest things. I guess I'm saying that we both went off, perhaps we both threw a fit but for entirely different reasons and in no way with the same frequency. However, after I was done screaming at Senior I felt really bad because I'd acted like Junior did only for totally different reasons. So yes and no, Junior and I acted much in the same spirit. A bag tore - he went off. I got laughed at twice - I went off. He gave an empty apology and will act out again. I hope beyond hope I don't treat another person like that any time soon, still Senior isn't getting an apology. Unfortunately when he's treated this way he responds to it. He cleaned the kitchen. Why do I need to scream to make him live like a half way normal person? Frustrating.

Though he shouldn't have acted in the manner he did in the first place, I think it's a good sign that he did apologize for his behavior. I couldn't helping thinking while reading this post that your cursing Fife Sr. and storming off isn't much different from Jr.'s tantrum. You weren't throwing things around, but the spirit is much the same. Junior definitely has anger issues.
