When we look at anger and what causes it we find the heart of man is desperately wicked. Many times this anger leads to Domestic abuse and we need to be alert to the Signs & Symptoms.

Domestic violence takes many forms. The most commonly reported form of domestic violence is physical assault, which includes punching, kicking, grabbing, slapping, choking, poking, pulling hair, twisting arms, biting, beating and using a weapon. Intimidation is another form of domestic violence, and it may include scaring the abused person with looks, actions, gestures, yelling, or smashing things. Abusers also may threaten to kill their partners, take away children or commit suicide.

Emotional abuse is also considered domestic violence. This involves putting people down by calling them names, making them feel like they are crazy, treating them like servants. Another element is isolation, in which abusers isolate their partner from people who are important to them. The abuser also may control all the finances and try to prevent the partner from getting or keeping a job.

Here are some ways to deal with anger without resorting to violence:

*   Learn to talk about your feelings - if you're afraid to talk or if you can't find the right words to describe what you're going through, find a trusted friend or adult to help you one-on-one.

*   Express yourself calmly - express criticism, disappointment, anger or displeasure without losing your temper or fighting. Ask yourself if your response is safe and reasonable.

*   Listen to others - listen carefully and respond without getting upset when someone gives you negative feedback. Ask yourself if you can really see the other person's point of view.

*   Negotiate - work out your problems with someone else by looking at alternative solutions and compromises.

Anger is part of life, but you can free yourself from the cycle of violence by learning to talk about your feelings. Be strong. Be safe. Be cool.
