hmmm... Well, I know that I still have problems with anger. However, it helps me feel somewhat better when I am able to acknowledge time and time again that the abuse was not my fault and that what happened was unfair. Sometimes it's better to realize that your anger is justified than to try to get rid of it, as long as you're not misplacing it.
