Be very careful about knowing the source of your anger. I'm not preaching here because I'm doing this today - asking myself this. It is NOT EASY.

How much of your hurt is truly all about your own feelings, your own gratification? I'm not saying this doesn't sukk totally. I'm saying that if you look at it, it's often because we are not getting what we want or expect.


Thanks of thinking of me when talking about anger smile

I recognize that I have a lot of anger and frustration in me, and I know how important it is to get to the bottom of it. I'm still working on figuring that that. I think it is a mix of things.

Btw, you're a very awesome person! The support you have to offer while going through something immense yourself is invaluable.

I hope you and your son's are doing well! They are so very lucky to have you as their dad, you know that, right?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.

I dunno maybe we should talk about changing colors or the designs of license plates up north. How much would a plate cost that says " save the mnky" ." these are my "rust balls" or "love dogwoods in the spring"?

Michael - I have to say I'm feeling optimistic about the future, and praying W can find her answers in this world. She's constantly sharing her inner being which is good. I can still be her friend and support wherever she ends up, and I do think she has to go out into the world and face it alone in order to overcome her demons. I don't see it happening in the safety net of our home here.

How are you getting on?

Rick89 & NHMom - anger seems to be the hot topic of the day. I would certainly fit in the category of the ones that really need to take a good look at my own anger and what purpose it serves me, so I can get rid of it... I have been in a very dark place lately and I am trying to get out of it.

It's good to see that I am not alone, or going crazy.
I empathize tremendously with you both!
And we should at least pat ourselves in the back that we are trying to conquer our demons. We'll get there! :-)
