So, one of my littles has been soooo angry lately. She has been yelling at me, etc.
Anyways, I went to T on Thursday and she told me to ask what their (all of them) purpose was, why they came to be, what they need.
Well, FINALLY, my little opened up to me! OMG, I thought to myself. I have to e-mail this to T, even though I know she's on vacation.
Anyways, I found out that she just wanted to be happy, have friends, have people believe her, get hugs, be loved, and more.
I have never really heard her say these things because all she ever does is yell, spew hateful words and push everyone away.
I just feel like this is such a great step in the right direction! What's next?

Oh! That is good news that you have some communication.

Sounds like your littles need what they didn't get before. Nurture and reward as much as possible and yes of course many littles show themselves to be angry when infact they need love!

Hugs ((((((((( all of you )))))))))))

Yeah, My T said that people usually show anger, when in actuality they are feeling something different.
I can't wait to tell T. She is going to be so happy! Maybe she'll be able to give the little some of what she needs. She looks at T as a mother figure and wants T to cuddle her, rock her, play with her and talk to her.
I can't tell T that, though. I would be too embarrassed to disclose that.

It is the same for us. When our littles are feeling loved and not hurt they are able to talk and work out what is bothering them. We are so happy that she is finley working through her anger.

(Hill)Erik is the same way. He'll probably be very angry at me for sharing, but we see right through that anger of his to a broken heart that needs (and hopefully will recive) mending. I belive in Hill's case (and the case of your little) the anger is used as protection against further pain.

I think you are so right. I think the anger is protection. I hope Hill isn't upset with you!

All he did was give me a look and deny it.

Wow. This just happened to me a couple of weeks ago! I have had a little 8 year old who has a vocabulary that would make a sailor blush! All he did was yell and curse. I found out that he was scared because he failed at his job (keeping secrets and protecting me) and so he lashed out at me. I don't know how it will turn out with him, but now that I know how he really feels, I can be more understanding. I hope this makes sense.
All the best to you.

That is how mine is, she curses so much! She drops the F bomb all the time. I want to find out why, all of a sudden, she is willing to drop the shield a bit and let some stuff out. It's really weird.
Yeah, it totally makes sense to me.
