I have one question for all of you who are so defensive about this: Given the fact that you know that your behavior is frightening and distressing for your kid and grandkids, that they experience you as angry and bullying, why do you act that way and continue to watch and listen to things that encourage that behavior in you? What I am asking is if you want to be right in your own mind and consequently be so unhappy that it is hard to be around you, or if you want to have good relationships and be happy.
