“That was the way for me to relieve the stress. I didn’t talk to people about my problems. I just let them build up inside until I was ready to explode. And so when I got to school, as soon as someone said something to me that I didn’t like, I’d take my anger out on them, because I knew I couldn’t hit my mama.”
wow i wonder if she was always aware that this is what she was doing or did this realization come through counseling? seems that if the emotional brain has developed but the cognitive one has not, this realization would be difficult or impossible to come by
