Thanks for that H&N --
I have been able most times to catch the physical sensation that begins just before the anger, and being able to notice that has been helpful in at least attempting to thwart that response. I can't do too much when the (very large) puppy and two small children are in my care as far as leaving to do any exercise.The dog would eat the house, the children would start hollering, but what I AM trying to do is walk into the kitchen, and start washing dishes, counters, anything... kind of calms me down, lets me turn the anger to tears if I need to, and at the same time I get a clean kitchen.
