Silent, I just read your latest "empowered post" over on the abuse forum. It seems that you have channeled your anger into empowering and protecting yourself. This is awesome! I will file this technique away in the files in my head and refer to it later when someone doesn't know what to do with their anger. Anger is very motivating. It is amazing what you can accomplish with the power of your anger. Of course I am talking about productive accomplishments here .
