Young Man: I want to apologize for everything that's going down recently. Dad says you're getting stuck in the middle. I also want to apologize for being so rude to you the last time you visited. Yeah, I've been having trouble with my temper recently.

Most of it is due to my ADHD. Which, you know, I've been working with my therapist to learn how to channel it better. One of the things we're working on is an anger-related fitness program. You know, every time I feel a rage coming on, I go running. Being how often people set me off, I guess I've been getting into pretty good shape recently.

I just want to explain my side of what happened that night with Grandma. You know, from the moment she walked in the door, she was, like, on me. And she actually went into my room and started hassling me about how my room is so messy, and how I'm worthless, and lazy, and all the usual blah, blah, about how life was different when she was a kid. And how kids today have it so easy. Well, you know what, Grandma? Kids today have it hard, too.

The next day, I came home from school, found her in my room, on my computer. She apparently decided it was her business to go through all my Facebook posts and messages. The funny thing is, I didn't actually blow up then. No, I actually turned around, walked away, and went running.

No, the big blowup happened the next day. She read through some of my Facebook messages between me and a friend, about how I was unsure about college. And she started going on about how I'm disappointing the family? I don't know what it was about that, that set me off.

But I was like, you know, no one in this family ever stands up to her. And if someone doesn't, no one ever will. So I swore at her. Told her she was being a bully, and that she needed to stay out of my life. And needless to say, she didn't take it very well. [laughs]

But now I feel really-- I feel really bad. Because I'm afraid I messed everything up. I mean, we all know how she is, and we all love her, even though she can be a pain. But now I'm afraid things will never be the same again. Regardless, I hope you'll forgive me for getting you dragged into all this.
