On Monday I almost had an accident. I was pulling out of Chick-fil-A in Edgewater and a car that wasn't there when I pulled out came around a corner speeding and almost hit me. The guy driving then proceeded to follow me so that he could yell at me from his car for the next 1/2 mile about how stupid I was.
There have been days that I know MAC has been angry enough to yell but she has been working on how to control herself. Dr. P has given her some exercises and keeps reminding me to have her use emotion words. She does still have some times of silence when you can tell she is really angry but doesn't quite trust herself to speak without being nasty.
While I'm not saying I wasn't partially at fault on Monday it felt a little excessive that he would follow and yell for so long. If a child with Oppositional Defiant Disorder can learn to be angry and then let it go an adult should too, right?
