Do you have any book recommendations for children that always seem angry and negative? One of my 11 year old twins is really struggling with this.

Dear Wally, You always come up with what it takes to convert me to whatever you teach, even if the natural man in me resists those teachings. People like you give me a strong desire to repent, mend my ways and follow the disciple's path. Our Church and world need more people like you! Kind regards, Charles

To "Vickie" - regret to hear of your husband's rage issues. It may help to remember that persistent intense anger is usually a symptom of deeper discontent - with self, life, circumstances, etc. Help him get help. Prayerfully seek out a counselor. That much anger is so destructive - to him and others. Sincere best wishes to you both.

I am able to some degree control my outward anger...my problem is my inward anger. I keep it in and don't say anything....my husband on the other hand...lets it all out....road rage and rage about everything..he stays angry.....its making me so uncomfortable.....I try to rationalize things to him and he comes bk at me and tells me not to take their side....I wasn't taking anyones side...I was trying to help him see why he shouldn't get angry ….nothing works....

Well said, Wally. I find it odd that we don't think of anger as an emotional disorder, yet what else is behind the horrible shootings? It isn't mental illness as typically defined, it is anger carefully hoarded and stored up for a day or retribution. Like suicide, anger is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. Our anger and tantrums may damage relationships forever, at least in time if not eternity.

I think that you can also pray and ask the Lord to remove the anger from your heart. At least it has helped me before!
