OMG! gypsygirl, I am so sorry about your son. I know this isn't the topic, just want to let you know I realize that indeed seems like a lot to contend with. My heart goes out to you. Good luck, and I'll say some prayers... As for me re: This thread topic - I do get truly angry, but it is a very occasional thing. I tend to let things "store up" for a long while, re: Any situation that is bugging me, and then one day just really explode. I realize that is partly due to my personality, and isn't maybe altogether healthy, but I really hate fighting. It does work for me, and basically, since I do abhor fighting, arguing, and general nit-picking, something has to really be a "deal" for me to get really ticked, and explode. Otherwise, If I am irritated, I tend to use mild sarcasm to deal, or else just walk away from someone, and leave them to their own devices, if I am angry w/them and they "won't communicate" and try to solve things in what I consider to be more mature manner. I will usually (depending on the situation) try to talk something out w/someone, before things reach any kind of "make or break it" point, in a LT relationship (or even a shorter, less significant one). I also find that I get sad, and cry about a frustrating situation, more often than I am angry about it, usually. But - I can get really angry, too, occasionally, if a situation just plain really ticks me off, and I think the other person is just not taking me seriously, and that is an option I think will maybe work and get them to pay attention (I so think it has its uses, and don't always consider this "abusive"). But mostly, I let "that kind of stuff" (slightly annoying) slide. I just don't wanna put my energy "there" - know what I mean? I have better things to do, and life is pretty short, IMO. I mean, I have my occasional "moods", but mostly I'd classify myself as pretty placid, whether we are talking dealing w/life in general, or relating in a Dominant/submissive relationship. I am not a fan of the emotional "mindf_k", as a "kink" (I am referring here to seriously screwing w/someone else's head and heart, not just general, everyday, normal relationship woes, or what I consider to be "less intense" D/s relating methods), so - any Dominant I thought was truly using that on me as a D/s "method", would not be my Dominant for very long. My reasoning here, is that I truly don't think many Dominants have the expertise to be able to do this very well, whether or not they are an "experienced Sadist", for instance, and be able to guarantee that they won't screw up their partner, or the relationship (maybe irrevocably, too), in the process (please, no flames, it is simply an opinion). I could be wrong, and I've not polled them all, nor do I know them all, but - I just don't wanna "go there" w/someone, I don't consider it particularly wise, even for a really effective, and possibly rewarding "thrill" - but, to each their own. - Susan
