14 Helping Parents
Parents often get angry because of their trouble in their lives. Let's say that your mother is not happy about her boss. If she doesn't have other ways
of expressing her emotions, she might come home and yell at you, scream at
your dad, kick at the dog, or even say something mean to you.
Here's how to handle it when an adult in your life has trouble controlling his
or her anger: Don't make it worse. Angry people can have trouble thinking
clearly, so try not to do or say anything to make things worse. Wait till your
parent cools off, then talk to him or her in a calm tone, and try to explain how the anger is affecting you.
