Very sad - I am so pleased that Rollercoasterider has posted to you, as she really understands the MLC process
However, I would take issue with this:

In my experience staying calm doesn't always deflect the anger, so don't feel you have done it wrong if you get waves of anger.
Anger is one of the components of the MLC, for many MLCers. We can certainly exacerbate it by handling it badly, but like the wind, it is a force of nature that at times we can only shelter from. All the stages of the crisis will take their toll of patience, and you will grow stronger and more capable, and more skilled at dealing with this alien.
