Arc, none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes.

I think of this place as a kind of family. Family members can fight among themselves, but still have respect for each other. We have words, and then we move on.

Over the last 15 years....I am 45 now I have noticed I seldom get "really" angry...

When I was 30 I did ..not often but enough and I enjoyed it often....not healthy

It's seldom worth it to do so anymore and I am working on feeling angry because it feels good...especially with the misses.

I've never had a particular issue with anger, but until my thirties I was certainly more of a passenger on the ship of my emotions than the captain. I know he's kind punchline these days, but I really benefited from one or two of Dr. Phil McGraw's books that came out when he was popular back around 2000. What stuck with me is that as adults, we are responsible for our emotions, and we can train ourselves to choose our attitudes and reactions. Learning those things and changing myself as a result surely changed the course of my life for the better.

Some of his writings changed my life as well. The one that really opened my eyes was about how we can only control how we behave and nobody else. Focusing solely on your own actions and leaving everyone else to do the same is far more productive and healthier than worrying what everyone is thinking or how to get them to behave how I think they should.

I understand where Arc is coming from. Long ago I decided that anger was unproductive and used up far too much energy to be worthwhile. I generally avoid getting angry, as most issues are just not worth the effort.

Stress and anger are a choice. Once you realize that you can start to move forward towards things more positive.
