I write in a journal now when I get angry. It's on my computer which is password protected. I've been angry a lot this past year and I've punched pillows, cussed to myself, all that stuff. It's managed to keep me from blowing up on my husband and daughter so I'll keep up with that.

My parents were pretty screwed up. My dad was abusive physically and emotionally, and my mom was an alcoholic who didn't want to be a mom. Since they're both dead I'm working even harder to get their influence out of my life. Thankfully I have a t who helps with that.
