My T saw that I was angry and when we talked about my family and I was the bad sheep and the angry one--he said, "And you were the only one who is really successful, right?" And it was true! He saw my anger and understood where it came from and that it was a good thing for me.
I also remember when my sisters two daughters were growing up--the little red head was always in trouble; the older blonde was so shy and behaved so well. I rooted for the redhead--I said, "Yeah, she's like me! She'll be OK." And you know what? She is; the older girl has schizophrenia like her mother. I think having anger in certain situations is good. Now I'm trying to learn to control my anger and just use it when it is appropriate. Hope you'll get there too. I think you're OK!
