Welcome mztwizler and Always!

You certainly have the right to feel angry. We tend to fear anger and be uncomfortable with that particular feeling, and some people tend to not know what to do with it. But anger is a legitimate feeling, and feelings are not right or wrong. Feelings just are.

Now, on the other hand, what you do with your feelings needs some consideration. Snapping on people or getting violent probably isn't going to help you win friends and influence people. What effects do you think that has? Are you happy with the results?

There are ways to channel anger productively if you can teach yourself to stop and look for them before you act on your anger.

If you do a search for anger management you will probably find some good ideas. I found a website that I was really impressed with about anger, and I hope people aren't tired of me posting that site, but I refer to it a lot and ask my kids to read it. No affiliation. http://www.angriesout.com
