Before I say anything, I am diagnosed with anger issues. They ran on my father’s side of the family, so I mainly got them from my father.

You know those posts on TikTok or insta reels that will have a bow emoji at the end of the caption, talking about something that’s relatable? Well, here’s the one I’m talking about.

My gf (19) keeps posting those reels to her story. It says:

“Me because I have my dads anger issues 🎀”

With the background being clips of Lyle being mad from that Menendez Brothers show. Heres the thing. I have known her and her family for 7 years. Her dad sleeps during the day and works during the night. I have seen him get mad, and it’s really not bad at all. He never gets angry at anyone, he is a very chill laid back guy. So I’m 100% sure he doesn’t have these anger issues she speaks of.

And GF? She’s a calm person. She’s afraid of confrontation. She doesn’t ever get mad at anyone. The most she gets is annoyed. Now I know what you’re thinking, maybe she has quiet anger issues. That doesn’t hold up either, because she genuinely has nothing in her life that makes her angry. We talk constantly, she never has anything bad to say about her life. She’s basically rich, has both parents and they aren’t divorced, no mental illnesses, and is just mostly quiet or makes jokes. That’s it.

The reason why I’m angry is because I literally have anger issues from my own father. He passed in 2019, so it doesn’t make them any better. I’ve witnessed his anger firsthand as a child. For example, he smashed up the entire living room while on the phone with his then gf, and I watched first hand while I was in the room. I was 5. Then, I witnessed him push my mother to the living room table from the door because she was pushing him out as he was trying to say goodbye to us, (his kids.) I was 6. My dad wasn’t abusive, but when he got angry, he got extremely angry.

Anger issues run on his side of the family. So when I see someone who isn’t diagnosed with anger issues, and I have a great feeling doesn’t have them, reposting things like “Me bc I have my dads anger issues 🎀” it makes me extremely angry. Because again, as someone who has anger issues stemmed from their father, it’s so inconsiderate for her to make that claim when neither her or her dad are diagnosed. AS WELL AS making it seem like it’s some fun, quirky thing to have. Anyone who has anger issues and is diagnosed, doesn’t think it’s some fun thing to have. It’s exhausting and causes trouble in your life. Meanwhile we got Miss I-think-they’re-fun-to-have over here reposting it like it makes her quirky or something.

So AITAH for being mad that my girlfriend acts like she has anger issues when she doesn’t?
