Lots of hugs for you if you would like them!!

Homicidal thoughts can be VERY scary. I am no mental health professional, but I would say that with your brother being in town, and hearing your mother's voice could very well be triggers for you. I have found some of the simplest things can trigger me and I will sit and ponder about them just going "What the hell?"

I think allowing these parts to do some painting is a good idea. It helps them to get some of their feelings out and relieves the stress and pressure. Even though some of their paintings may seems scary, embrace them.

The fact that you are able to stand and know in your heart that you do not want to act on these feelings is good! Many people have homicidal thoughts.

One thing I learned in my treatment is that anger is often a secondary emotion...meaning it rides in on the backs of other emotions such as fear, pain, disgust, etc. It kind of takes over so you don't have to feel the others.. like protection.

Well...I'm here for you if you need to talk. We're all here for you!!
Keep on keepin' on. Tomorrow is coming!!
