Hopefully, those classes will help her learn to control her anger.

Crystal or Amber or Destiny wouldn't have surprised me, either.

As a participant in anger management, I know working on anger issues can evoke anger & rage. Competent professionals know this, too.

Not to minimize the disgusting punch by this 'mother', but I'm so tired of seeing children exposed to the emotional baggage of their parents .... for any reason. They carry it around for the rest of their lives. The administrators of this anger-management program need to take a good look at themselves.

I hope that poor child is found a more stable adult to care for him.
