I think people tend to present only their good sides and rarely talk about anger and tempers that it gives us the impression that we're the only ones who deal with it. I think it's more common than anyone cares to admit. <br /><br />Like you, I'm an emotional sponge. What they feel, I feel -- good and bad. <br /><br />I will definitely pray for your family members. I know all too well what it's like to have to tip toe around emotionally fragile people and what a toll that can take on us. <br /><br />St. Jerome is an interesting saint to learn about. I hope he intercedes for you in heated moments. <br /><br />God bless you, too!Melissa Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093144784715438143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7738564385955889206.post-71009644979839007002018-01-10T09:23:41.118-08:002018-01-10T09:23:41.118-08:00OH MY GRACIOUS, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT ...OH MY GRACIOUS, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THIS PROBLEM. <br /><br />I've always ALWAYS had a very strong will and a temper to match. Bottling? OH YEAH. Still do. <br /><br />I still remember scaring the life out of both my roommates when I exploded in front of them because they had been fighting for a while and I had reached my emotional limit. <br /><br />It's ridiculously hard for me to disconnect from other people's emotions, I'm like an emotional sponge. Not a lot of people, even some of my family members, can understand that it seems. <br /><br />I still have problems when a memory of an insult or a sharp word (whether to me or someone else) will start an adrenaline rush, a feeling of being attacked. <br /><br />I too have had some family issues, especially on my dad's side. I don't get along with either my paternal grandfather or my paternal aunt very well because of old and new emotional manipulation scars. Which makes me upset too. Please pray for them! <br /><br />I should look up St. Jerome. He sounds like a Saint I need to have intercede for me. <br /><br />God bless you Emmy!
