This is super helpful. I wish I’d known about all this growing up with my dad. I’d have tried to have used these techniques with him. It’s hard when you’re not free to walk away from the tantrum thrower but share an entire house with them. My heart grieves for the prolonged pain my dad lived in. But it affected all of us for decades.
Me too with my mom. That’s a good point. To feel and be truly helpless can be devastating. I appreciate that empathy and agree that the person throwing the tantrum is experiencing the most suffering. I am encouraged to see you trying to be different for your generation and those to come in your family.
my tantrums are solo 🎨
stop that shit!

Looks like someone is throwing a tantrum..I like the analogy though. True quotes and a good reminder.
