I found that I am less angry now than I used to be....so time is one thing.
When I had children, I looked at my dad differently. Growing up he had an explosive temper and I remember what it did to me. So I made the decision to be careful and not be him. It's like constant vigilance.
I have learned to just give it time..a day or two to let the emotions settle. So that means that you really have to recognize situations that cause you to be upset.
It is tough. I wish I had an answer...
