Breakups & Divorce Support Group
Just broke up with someone or in the midst of a difficult divorce? Breaking up is difficult no matter what the circumstances are. They say that time heals all wounds, but sometimes a listening ear or a hug can work wonders for the heart. Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
Here is advice sent to me today that I find very helpful.
Anger can root deeply, grow quickly, and choke out your emotional health. Unless you cut away at your anger and learn to express it in a healthy manner, it can cause great harm to you and to others around you.
"I wanted to hurt him as badly as he hurt me," shares Joanne. "My anger was big, and it was black. It made me want to kill him. I knew I wouldn't, but I wanted to. I had enough knowledge to know that my anger was going to eventually eat me alive. Acid corrodes, as people say. That's when I knew that I had to direct my anger or learn to control it or dissipate it."
You may feel guilty about the extreme thoughts your anger is leading you to have. Be assured that these thoughts are normal for a person who is going through a divorce.
Howard shares, "I had tremendous guilt over some feelings I had, just awful and violent things I wanted to do to get even. It was such a relief to know that the things I'm feelingthe depression, the suicidal thoughts, the anger, and the violent thoughts are something common to this situation, something that can be faced and overcome."
If you are in a divorce, you will at some point feel anger. The extent of that anger will vary from person to person, but God commands everyone to be wise in anger.
"A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control" (Proverbs 29:11).
Almighty God, the force of my anger is unbelievable. Sometimes it takes over, and all I see is red, hot rage. I pray for wise, safe anger. Hear my prayer. Amen.

Gee, that kinda pisses me off...
;)
i was mad at him..i hated what he did..but day by day and i know i got along way to go..its getting less and less and closer to not givng a flying f**K
Being married to a pathalogical lying, narcissistic, passive aggressive, immature brat will kinda do that to a person. I'm amazed at the limits I have been pushed too emotionally, anger wise. Helped me learn a lot about myself.
