Anthony My Son
Out of all my children I would have to say that Anthony and I are the most alike. We have same sense of humor aditude and anger. His temper is quick, he has what is called the “Short fuse” problem. Any little thing can set him off. Last night his sister made a mess and Anthony told her to pick it up. Of course she has not going to so he got mad when she threw a straw at him, and then he pushed her into the wall. I was not home yet at the time this happened or it would have never got that far in the first place.
Well I got home and sat him down and asked him what the deal was? He told me his story and that he was sorry. I told him look son I know you! I know your anger I know how you feel inside. I explained to him that I had the same anger as a kid. I told him that anger will not get you anywhere but in trouble. I said son anger is a hard emotion to control, but you have to learn how to deal with it in a better way. Anger blinds you it will control and consume you inside and out. I let him know that, I as a kid had a very hard time controlling my anger and it got the best of me and I wound up in allot of trouble for it.
I let him know that for all the hopes and dreams he has in life and the things he wants to become, that if he can’t control his anger then he will never be able to accomplish what he needs to in order to reach those goals. The conversation was longer than this and I am keep some of those things we shard last night to myself. I hope I helped him and he should know I will always be there for him he is my nee nee my little big man and I love him and all my kids.
For the first time in a while i felt like a good father last night! i felt like I was doing my part in his life to making him a good person so he can become a good man!
