CMG, sorry you're here. I think a lot of our spouses have hit that anger stage. I think in part like oad said it occurs as a sort of justification. You can't reason with anger, and sadly this stage might never go away. My XH still often times will talk with hate and anger and I believe this to be a result of him being uncertain of the decision of the divorce and built up resentment. Since I have decided to drop the rope it no longer is really a bother to me, but I can remember and understand the beginning stages and how it felt to go from love to hate. Its going to be a difficult journey but there are so many great people on this website to help you through it. Stay strong!
