Sometimes what tears us apart helps us put it back together

The disappearance of the husband is linked to the resignation of the previous secretary, which is a good show of an affair. The cold and haggard wife of the empty girl faces her four flower-like daughters, and a neighbor who is an old and handsome drinking friend like Kevin Costner-the show has just begun.

There is no ups and downs, and there is soft humor everywhere. The divorced mother is already out of anger. The eldest daughter who has always been opposed is unmarried and pregnant. The second daughter who refuses to go to college goes to bed with the old bastard who is more than twice her age. The third daughter fights against her mother in order to go to the art school. Sickness and admission are at stake. Only the old fourth, who was still unaware of the sadness, was a little restful, but the boy soaked in the other side to play bungee jumping in the middle of the night and hit the wall and broke the window.

The poor mother was hit, reformed, and rebuilt by anger, and staged family sorrows and joys, and ethical affection.

Finally, the husband's body was found in the old motor shaft in the woods behind the house. Walking and falling, I don’t know if there is any pain, I don’t know if I’ve been sleepy for a few days, and then I die like that-absurd and sorrowful way of death-no one is looking for after death, but let the relatives curse.

We love a person so much that we lose our minds when we hate him. Days are as pale as water, we are not reconciled, and our grievances deepen. The first reaction after the opponent disappeared was betrayal. Cursing, going crazy, screaming, drinking, and hysterical, the more frantic it is to want that person to be happy and happy. Who knows that he is slowly dying of thirst in the underground tens of feet away, did he miss us before he died?

The Upside of Anger quotes

  • Lavender "Popeye" Wolfmeyer: Anger and resentment can stop you in your tracks. That's what I know now. It needs nothing to burn but the air and the life that it swallows and smothers. It's real, though - the fury, even when it isn't. It can change you... turn you... mold you and shape you into something you're not. The only upside to anger, then... is the person you become. Hopefully someone that wakes up one day and realizes they're not afraid to take the journey, someone that knows that the truth is, at best, a partially told story. That anger, like growth, comes in spurts and fits, and in its wake, leaves a new chance at acceptance, and the promise of calm. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

  • Hadley Wolfmeyer: There's something you all should know.

    Lavender "Popeye" Wolfmeyer: You're pregnant and you're getting married.

    Hadley Wolfmeyer: How did you know that? Who told you that?

    Lavender "Popeye" Wolfmeyer: I guessed? Really? I guessed that? I was right?

    Terry Wolfmeyer: No, you've got to be kidding me.

    Hadley Wolfmeyer: No, I'm... I'm not. I'm getting married.

    Terry Wolfmeyer: This is how I find out? Through Popeye? A 15-year-old?

    Lavender "Popeye" Wolfmeyer: Don't be condescending...

    Terry Wolfmeyer: Close it! You are a child. What do *you* know?

    Andy Wolfmeyer: Oh, that old chestnut.

    Terry Wolfmeyer: You close it as well, please. Do his parents know?

    Hadley Wolfmeyer: Yes, they're ecstatic.

    Terry Wolfmeyer: Oh, how long have they been ecstatic?

    Hadley Wolfmeyer: You know what? Can we just go to the lunch, please?

    Terry Wolfmeyer: [shouting] How long have they been ecstatic, damn you, Hadley?
