I think it was Jung who wrote that once a schizophrenic is truly understood they are no longer a schizophrenic.(something like that)
English is not my girl friend's first language and there are times when things get misunderstood. I try to make it a rule not to get upset over situations where there is a lack of communication because of our language limitations. I figure it is just as much my fault for not being more fluent in her native tongue.
I had a psychiatrist tell me once that sometimes anger is guilt turned outward. Also, that same anger can get turned inward and express itself in self destructive behavior.
I read at Mahoney's website that the root of most anger and rage is sexual frustration. That make sense to me because I had this rancher once tell me that the more potent a bull is the meaner it is especially if it is penned up.
I was 30 years old before I finally moved out of my parents house. Because I could still fish from time to time I was able to buy a small travel trailer and rent a space at a trailer park.(it didn't really take that much money) That was the first real step in my road to recovery. Meeting up with my first live in girl friend was my next major step.
