Anger, filtered slightly


A phone / email conversation, slightly redacted.

 

RantWoman, I don’t think your anger is serving you well.

 

Has it occurred to you that whether or not my anger is serving ME might not be the only point?

 

Say More?

 

(THANK YOU SO MUCH for not just gaslighting!) Did you get the part about different people in Meeting and grab the blind person and bless them? Can you imagine how there might be a nice big reservoir of anger about the topic, before one even throws in reservoirs of anger generously contributed by RantParents  who were decidedly uninsightful and unhelpful about bullying?

 

The reservoir of anger was definitely on RantWoman’s mind when introductions brought out the couple doing the curriculum about touch and consent for 9 and 10 year olds. If that anger helps even one adult work with kids who have mobility aids and that adult gives even one kid permission to speak up and not just tolerate…  it will have done what it is supposed to.

 

A reprise of the gifts from introductions.
