Yes, I get angry and yes, I need strategies to channel my anger non-destructively.
But management can’t be the only solution. I now know that I need to weed out the causes of my anger. These will be things to work through with a counselling/therapist/ psychologist...
I’m about to do a quite difficult listing exercise and give initial thoughts on things which might be causing me undue anger:
- Relationship problems
- Sharing the ‘Mental load’
- Partner parenting disparity
- Deep resentment about my own parenting
- Life’s not turning out how I imagined
The listing was not that difficult. In truth I’ve only listed broad categories here, and not gotten into the nitty-gritty which is the hard stuff to process.
