Hi, SH. I'm sorry that you are still having to deal with so much anger from your WAW. Temper tantrums in grown adults are hard to tolerate and leave nothing to admire. That you are feeling angry yourself right now is s sign that you are healing, not that you aren't handling yourself well. Anger is a very important part of reclaiming your own life and identity and creating emotional distance from those that have harmed us. Don't fight it, just try not to act on it too much. If you can harness it in some way, then so much the better.

And I completely agree, total honesty is the only way to go.

Thinking if you today, and very glad to see you here and doing s bit of journaling again. Let that anger out here. Everyone is right, reflecting anger back at WAW simply gives her more ammunition and gives you reason to doubt yourself, which is exactly what she wants. Let her burn herself out without any extra fuel from you.
