Hi there
Thanks for your letter. It sounds like things have been pretty complicated for you. Going to live with your Grandparents at the age of two is a big thing to go through. It’s understandable you get stressed out.
We all experience different types of emotions such as happy or sad, and when we get stressed out sometimes we feel angry. It’s important to remember that anger is an emotion as well, and it’s ok to feel this way.
Sometimes when we are stressed out we do take it out on the people closest to us. It sounds like perhaps this is what you are doing when you yell at your Grandparents. You don’t want to hurt their feelings so maybe you could explain to your Grandparents about how you are feeling?
There are some things you can try to help you take control of how you express your emotions. Why not play the Wall of Expression game on the ChildLine website? You can write down anything that might be bothering you on the wall of expression then piece by piece knock the wall down as a way of releasing some tension. A lot of people find that doing some sort of exercise as well, like running or dancing can help to feel less stressed.
It’s really important to talk to someone about how you are feeling. If you feel you can't talk to your Grandparents perhaps you could contact a ChildLine counsellor. You can call for free and in confidence on 0800 1111 as well as through 1-2-1 chat or email.
Take care
Sam
