Adinva and ScottCat: We tried counseling twice, but the second time, my husband shut down and really didn't participate. I met with my pastor two times since then and brought up my anger issues: She said she did not see me as an angry person, and talked me through some things - and I have had a lot of friends reassure me, but my sister said she often sees me as angry and I know it has been true -in the last few years especially. I have tried yoga, but had gotten off track with that - have just started again this week. Had tried some meditation over the summer, but without much success.

I think in some ways, it is a mindset towards gratitude and trusting God/The Universe - corny as that may sound - that has helped me most recently come out of my stress and dissatisfaction that was contributing to my anger. I think I will continue with this gratitude -maybe a gratitude journal? Because my kids are really worth nurturing this attitude and have already helped me through this just by being who they are more than anything...
