DAUGHTER DESPAIRS OVER TENSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HER MOTHER

DEAR ABBY: I am a 16-year-old girl and I fight with my mother
almost daily. It makes me sad and upset all the time, and I
don't know what to do. The last fight we had was over some-
thing so dumb I don't even know why I dragged it out for so
long. I said things I didn't mean -- things that were hurtful
and cruel.

No child should ever treat a parent like I treat my mom. I
take her love and kindness for granted, and never tell her
how much I really do appreciate her. What I said to her in
anger made her cry.

How can I tell or show my mom how sorry I am and how much I
love her and admire her, and how can I stop myself from ex-
ploding and saying things to her that I don't mean?

DEAR UPSET: The most direct way to make amends would be to
hug your mom and apologize for flying off the handle and
saying things you didn't mean. Tell her you love her and
will try hard to do better because you are ashamed of your
behavior and know it wasn't justified.

It's important to understand that the average person can
experience frustration that leads to anger multiple times a
day. Anger is a normal emotion.

The challenge that everyone faces is how not to deny the
feeling, but to express it in ways that are productive for
ourselves and not hurtful to others. One way to accomplish
this is recognizing what pushes our buttons. What provoked
you? Were you under pressure? Or were you angry about some-
thing else so you "dumped" on an innocent party (in this
case, your mom) because she was handy?

In my booklet, "The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With
It," I explain that one of the unhealthiest ways to deal
with anger is to deny or repress it. However, because most
of us have been trained from early childhood to suppress
anger, many of us need to learn to express it appropriately.

The Anger booklet can be ordered by sending your name and
mailing address, plus a check or money order for $6 (U.S.
funds) to Dear Abby -- Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount
Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included
in the price.

In it are suggestions for managing anger, including how to
express anger in constructive ways, such as a few well-chosen
words that will make your point. It takes maturity to ident-
ify and verbalize negative emotions instead of "lashing out"
and saying -- or doing -- something you'll regret.

Being able to calmly say, "When you do (blank), it makes me
angry," before flying off the handle will earn you respect
from others. If you resort to name-calling, the other person
hears only the "static" and doesn't get your message. The
first step in controlling anger is to recognize that the
emotion is building, to understand that there are healthy
and effective ways to express it, and to diffuse it before
you lose control.
