How when some individuals feel a loss of control in one part of their life, the grope desperately to regain that sense of control or power in all other aspects of their lives? Let's say something unexpected and life changing happens. It's unplanned and it's huge. Do you ever notice the tendency to try to gain dominance or superiority at home, or at work. It's hard when it's so blatant to bite my tongue and not be confrontational. The sadistic joy of running my mouth off and saying something to the effect of: "It's not my fault you blankety blank blank. . . don't take it out on me, man." is so tempting. OH, the joy I would take. The trouble it would make. It's so clear to me, but I just CAN'T say anything. I guess I'll just have to get my rocks off some other way and just continue to put up with the BS for now. Hey, I'm not the one feeling all powerless. I guess I've got that on him. Ha.
