I can't believe I did that. I destroyed the television with a hammer.

Why did you do that? You know we can't afford a new one right now.
human
I was just so angry. I had a bad day at work and I took it out on the TV.

That's not an excuse. You need to learn how to handle your emotions in a healthier way. We can't keep replacing things every time you have a temper tantrum.
human
I know, I know. I promise I'll work on it.
gpt
You need to follow through on that promise. Remember the last time you got angry and punched a hole in the wall? We had to pay to fix that too.
human
I know, and I'm sorry. I'll pay for the repairs and I'll work on controlling myself in the future.
gpt
I'm glad to hear that. We need to start finding ways to manage your anger before it gets out of control. Have you considered seeing a therapist?
human
I haven't, but I think that's a good idea. I'll look into it.

That's a step in the right direction. Let's work together to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
