I think that is a genuine reaction. I grew up in a home full of domestic violence but what scared me the most was the shouting, screaming & yelling. Honestly, I’d rather someone laid in to me than yelled at me. It intimidates me and I’ve been known to cry. I’m quite a strong minded and strong willed person to. Weird, I know. I just can’t hack it!Seriously ... a man in his 30's who was in the army for 10 years and did a couple of tours in Afghanistan found his brother shouting 'terrifying'.
