Separated and doing well...

[AlexEN]

...That does not mean I don't occasionally feel angry about having been hurt and taken advantage of - but rather than allowing other emotions - such as anger - to guide me in any way - I instead take a moment, or two or three, and consider that anger - dissect, allow it to cool down some, so that I can see what's at its heart..and often - almost always - that anger reveals something to me that I can work on in myself...and I think that freedom to accept and address our other emotions - without being driven by them - comes with accepting a process of detachment.

Carlos,

I agree with everything you wrote, but can you drill down further on this one? [Sorry about the use of cliche...]

Surely such anger could be appropriate, too; it need not always, or even more times than not, reveal an implicit "fault" (something for which you must do work) in you?

And when it does point back to you, can you discern a pattern or typical place that it takes you, such that you don't repeat the dance that points back to you?

Just wondering...
