On a work (family owned business that I administrate) related issue, I became very, very angry with and at my husband tonight (as I so often have over the last 8 months).
My husband became as angry with me and almost refused to talk further with me as I was near tears and shaking like a leaf. Anyway, I somehow managed to contain myself and when things cooled down a bit and we were again talking more calmly, I rationalized that my anger was borne out of fear and listed 3 exact and very real fears.
It was only when I was done that I thought, "Hey - I just did something good!!" I actually identified where my anger came from and managed to keep it in check because of that.
I am rambling here, but for once I did not end the argument in a crying, hysterical heap. I calmed down quite quickly. And I think it was because I identified whilst still being angry, exactly why I was angry.
I don't know .. but I feel as though I have achieved something.
Thanks for letting me share.

what you've just accomplished is something some ppl work years and never achieve..........well done saw!
few ppl ever muster the guts to face where their anger is coming from and what to do about it. the Internet is full of examples of the anger people are living with. so many leave a trail of red hot angry bread crumbs everywhere they go as they're not yet ready to address their anger..........they're only ready to express it not face it and ask where it came from and when it plans on leaving ;)
congrats on this major step!

That's a wonderful experience, to understand why you went to anger, and to do it in real time! That's an amazing accomplishment.
And you've certainly been fondly remembered, by good old Lar.
Take care,
Lar
