Dear joanna:

I like your honesty. I didn’t “get rid” of my anger, I wasn’t trying to get rid of it, it just so happened as a … side affect so to speak, of my healing process.

I think that I am able now to make a distinction between anger and the expression of anger. Anger is not a bad emotion. The expressions of anger are often abusive to another, even deadly. When feeling angry, I think: is there anything I need to do? If there is nothing, of course, it is wasteful to stew in anger.

I read your most recent post. Good thing you stopped visiting your grandparents.
