“Sometimes in moments of stress people yell. We have had a few of those on this journey. You are fortunate if you’ve never had such moments”

Fortuante is not correct description. If one starts raising voice, I just walk away. I tell them later that once it is much louder, I stop comprehending the meanning of words, it is gone, I just hear loud noise and walk away. Eventually they get it. Screaming never resolves anything, it complicates everything, taking it many step back. In complicated enough situation as we are discussing here, screaming is going to make matters worse as well as involvement of any party who has no leverage in discussion.
