Anger Management???

An article in the local newspaper about how companies are using emotion detecting software to save sales. http://kauaiworld.com/articles/2004/10/21/opinion/edit01.txt

Yeah that is real nice but what every happened to everyday courtesy and politeness? Mom always taught me to treat people the way I would like to be treated. Is that so old fashioned?? I did commission sales for 15 years. I did well at it, now I do outreach work and use the same skills with my clients.

I believe the problem with the whole anger thing stems from the lax and "let children do what they want with attitude that is prevalent in today's society." We need to start teaching children to respect others. People today are so me oriented, society is training young and old alike to be self gratifying.

Even in my own family the team spirit is gone no one wants to work together to help but they just want to leach on others.

I recently inherited my late brothers property and I make half the salary he did. I have tried to enlist help from my siblings and their family members and they "won't do it." They pay no rent to me,they only pay the smaller utility bills. I've recently asked for $50 a month from each adult to help pay for maintenance costs and taxes. Since then one person is avoiding me, 2 have flat out refused and 2 have said they will get it to me.

Now the scary thing is the youngest adults all agreed and have said it is more than fair, they are willing to do it. The oldest couple has refused, they don't even pay a utility bill or do anything to contribute to my household. They smoke, I don't and they take up more than half of the living space in the house.

What am I going to do?? When I try to bring the topic up they use manipulation,actual threats & intimidation tactics on me.

I give up I have tried I am even getting help for "Stress Related Illness". I have an appointment with my lawyer next week.

You can't use anger management techniques on people that are aggressive,abusive and noncompliant to you.
