I never hear Jessica mention the terrorists that murdered her mother. I thought it might come out in the brick smashing anger session.

Durring the denial sessions she confronted her mother. I believe to have closure she needs to confront the terrorists and be angery.

She has mentioned that she has always thought of anger as a negative. Maybe she's in denial that evil terrorists killed her innocent mother and has ignored being angery about that.

Anyway I loved the whole brick in the pool -- bring the bricks to the surface and smash them session -- brilliant

It could be a matter of perspective or belief that has determined where her anger is directed. Whether or not she believes 911 was caused by people whose anger was justified or not. There are those who believe 911 was the work of terrorists jealous of America and its freedom. There are also those who believe America is a bully and responsible for atrocities outside its borders (by its Foreign Policy). Atrocities as a matter of life, not a one day occurence.

Ok I hear you Jackee.

Politics aside

These 19 men killed her mother who was trying to visit a sick relative. There needs to be some anger resolution for Jessica to heal.

It's hard to discuss Jessica's hurt w/o delving into politics but I would be happy to discuss that angle in the current events section. Here I will try to color my comments to avoid sparking a political debate.

I am just trying to discuss anger and Jessica's well being.

I am sorry if my comments crossed a line with anyone.

Oh no, no line crossed at all Dionysus. Absolutely none. Your point is valid and well received. Your question prompted me to seek some understanding myself of why it is that Jessica has yet to be angry at the men who killed her mother. According to what they've shown on the show, that is. That 'explanation' I offered is what came to mind, and so I passed it on as a possible answer to your question.

Yes, you are right, it is impossible to discuss 911 without politics.

I agree. No matter why these terrorists did it, the fact is that Jessica's mother was an innocent woman who was murdered. There has to be some anger deep inside of Jessica aimed towards the people that killed her.
