No one here thinks you're a jerk! I think we all understood what you meant. It's all cool. I(we) can understand how/why you would be angry.

All of us are angry for what we had to live through and some of us are much angrier than others.

Not that it matters, but we did 8 mos of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and we learned that anger is usually a secondary emotion, meaning it rides in on the coat tails of hurt, fear, loss, disgust. First you feel the pain or the fear and then anger steps in to be upfront to help cope with the uncomfortable emotions. It's kind of a natural thing that everyone experiences.

Hang in there...Your doing great!!

I can understand not doing hugs to. I like 'em, but not all the time so how about a high-five Or, if it makes you feel better...give yourself a hug and just know that it comes from us all!!
