Given family holidays can be very stressful and violent in bad families, I have to wonder if that poor kid said something dad didn't like, or cried, or whined, or otherwise was a completely normal kid and the dad lost his shit and shot him for it. Then came up with "I thought I saw a thief!" to get away with it.
Like, everyone in this thread is assuming the dad actually heard a thief. But I think that should be questioned, too. It's so common for bad families to slap kids around during thanksgiving. My uncle once lost his shit over something stupid and threw his half-paralyzed mom (she'd had a stroke not too long before) out of her chair onto the floor.
There just aren't enough details to say right now. What you're saying is possible definitely but it's impossible to be sure if anything other than a child was killed. Anger is the worst human emotion in my opinion. Seneca calls it a form of temporary madness.
Agreed. I have an anger problem and I hate it. I can remain calm if I'm prepared for it, but if something takes me off gaurd (or I reach peek frustration) I react before I have time to think.
It's super annoying, often embarrassing, and the worst of me. It's like things start happening and my hire-order thinking is just straight-up offline until I've said something horrible, stormed off, or thrown something like a toddler. It's like I have to struggle to catch up to what my body is doing
The only blessing is that I'm physically weak as shit, (and I married a strong man who is chill/non-reactive)
I wish I could rewire my instinct to fight out of me, but meditation makes me fall asleep
any kind of neurodivergent diagnosis? Anger issues happen to most of us I'm afraid.
ADHD- combined tyoe
Very nice. I disagree. If you aren't angry you aren't paying attention. World is going to shit by just about every measure you care to name.
Even if it was a thief ending a life is not a proportional response.
