And since this ordeal has started, I have noticed that I have become an unhappy person and I know even I wouldn’t want to be around myself. I have been trying to work out more, read and practice anger management techniques, breathing exercise, try not to speak when angry since it usually ends up being something I later regret.

For the controlling issue, I am still trying to figure it out. Like I said, I know W’s action is not something I can control and I have to let the chips fall where they may. I have minimized of asking her where about (unless with S). I am trying to figure out why I am this way and not sure the root cause of it.

I am sure I have the below issues as well

Jealousy
Insecurities
Controlling behavior
Judgmental behavior
Superiority behavior
Criticism

I also think even though these issues are expressed at people/W, I think it is due to lack of self-esteem/ self worth. I need to love myself more and know deep down inside I am a good person. I have keep telling that to myself and start really believing it. Its try what they say of how can you love somebody if you don’t love yourself
