dysfunctional family

I'm sorry but at my ripe age I should not be the one singular person in my family able to make emotionally intelligent decisions. Whatever happened to "don't go to bed angry"?? Like how hard is it to stay calm and not have an ego or power complex? There is not a single reason we shouldn't be able to talk without getting an attitude, raising our voices, and fighting!! I sit here and am polite, reasonable, I listen to everyone's side. I don't try and make myself higher. I just simply sit, listen, respond. IS THAT SO HARD??????????????????????????? Stop trying to talk over each other, stop believing you are right 100% of the time, stop raising your voices, JUST LISTEN. Listen. think, THEN respond. I personally don't care that your my parent if you're yelling without reason, or blaming and creating horrible relationships on purpose. Don't ask me if I'm okay just because my own father figure yelled at me, he can do that? I still don't like you and your manipulating tactics getting everyone to side with you. And for gods sake can we stop getting angry SOOOOO quickly, just breathe. At the end of the day he is still our dad, our word means more than nothing the second you get angry. I wish there was a class on how to handle emotional situations.
