This is the first half from the book Heart of Anger by Lou Priolo. I have had this book for years but just never got around to it but since I'm spending so much time laying around this is the perfect time to read it and really work on it. One of our children is especially angry and very defensive and I really want to help her with that and to help my husband and I correct in ourselves the things we need to correct to be the best parents and role models we can be. Now I just have to get him to read it too. Do you see yourself in some of the examples listed above? I sure do- see myself that is.
