That would be my DH and DS at times too. When DS gets upset and seems to believe the world is plotting against him, I think of my DH and hope he will not be like that for life. Neither of them possess the ability to move on when things make them angry. Me? If something frustrates me and I can't solve it right away, I walk away ang get back to it later when I can think clearly. In the mean time I'll find something else to do, preferably something enjoyable. Both DH and DS blow up, blaming everyone but themselves for their issues. I tell them they have a choice about how they feel, and if they are miserable, they have no one but themselves to blame. They both suffer from depression, and I wonder if the anger reaction it is part of they same problem. When they are depressed, they can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and when they are angry, they can't look past their problems. Doesn't always make for an easy marriage, and sometimes leaves me desiring someone I don't have.
BTW, my DD is NOT just like me. She does not like to cook or work in the garden, and she gets her feelings hurt way too easily. DS is more likely to help in the kitchen, especiallt cooking, I suspect because he likes to eat. He eats well. DH almost never eats what I cook - not enough grease or hot sauce and too many veggies for him. If DD got her way, she'd eat just like dad.
