I really appreciate this article. As you know and some others do as well, I have issues with emotional pain and anger. My dad was always that way too and I guess I got it from him. Though I strived and told myself I would never be like what I seen him do when I was young. I find that I slip and have been slipping more and more recently. I am letting them get the better of me, and even though I am trying my hardest to control them it does get strenuous.
