[QUOTE="nvts, post: 432198, member: 3814"] It's human to explode! One thing I will say though is when you're apologizing for your reaction make sure that you don't blame others for your "mistake". Keep it short and simple. "I'm sorry I got angry, I guess I should have taken a break or rethought things before I spoke." By saying "I'm sorry, Mom was frustrated about x,y, and z", she's going to ignore you and use your explaination against you at a later date. Make it a learning experience - simple apology, and then a suggestion as to how you could have handled it a different way. Beth [/QUOTE]
