What It’s Like to Grow Up in a House Where People Didn’t Yell

There are people who think yelling is just part of life.

To them, it’s weather. Storms roll in, voices rise, doors slam, someone says something they regret, and eventually the sun comes back out. That’s what families do, they tell themselves. Everybody loses their temper. Everybody has bad days.
