I isolate and talk myself through the anger. I isolate a lot. My poor son gets little interaction with me. It means he spends a lot of time alone too. Each of us in our own rooms doing our own thing, crossing paths a few minutes at meal times and not much more than that. Anymore time then that and my irritation level grows so much that I have to retreat to get it in check again. If I can't retreat the effort to hold back the rage cycles me into a meltdown that ends with me crying uncontrolable or flips me into a rage that likewise will end with me melting down into a crying fit. I opt to isolate a lot to keep my moods in better check. It is what it is.
