Your text touched me. It was good to read. I appreciate your honesty. I have a similar history with anger. I have been denying it for such a long time, thinking a good person is not supposed to have it. Owning it, too, came with the price. It would just burst out of it, me having no idea I had it and I had so much of it. I'm just learning to live with it, to befriend it, to see it showing my boundaries, to appreciate it. Mostly, to listen. There is a reason, there is an anger. Your boundaries have been crossed, your values have been neglected. Thank you for the email.

As always, I just feel so seen with your writing. My sister and I were recently verbally fighting and our dad got so angry. He hates seeing us fight. And I was really proud of my sister for telling him that it was ok for us to disagree and express that. That we were different people just trying to figure it all out, even in our 40s. I thanked her for that. And thank you to you.
