[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going to with 8:30. I think there is a difference between yelling and being an abuser. My mom is a yeller, her mother was a yeller. They were best friends and my mom is my best friend. I yell at my kids, generally my rule is the third time I have to repeat myself I raise my voice. My mom and I generally don't yell at each other now, though my mom and grandmom yelled at each other when I was growing up. But they were never mean, or hurtful. Just loud. [/quote] Where is there a difference between yelling and abuse? So if a parent says, "I don't like that behavior." vs "I don't like that behavior!", neither are abusive? That the yelling itself can intimidate, cause fear and recoil may change that. Military basic training you are yelled at constantly - to desensitize to the act of yelling, since in combat situations the volume is often required and the emotional response shouldn't cloud a service and members judgment in any way.
