How does acting in retaliation solve anything? why is it that you continue to churn the already stirred pot into a fine, self-centered, immature froth? Nothing good comes from overreacting. This is something you have spoken to me about from the start. Stop overreacting, you’d say.

Well, it’s your turn. Stop overreacting. Stop flinging emotional barbs left and right, entitled and righteous. We will not always forgive you. You do not have the cover of ADD or dyslexia when it comes to emotional immaturity. We are all immature. You refuse to admit to it. The first step is to admit you have a problem.

One day, perhaps, you will see this in a new light. You will be able to see how you contribute to the problem, rather than help contain or solve it. You are amazing in physical crises. You can be a liability in emotional ones.
