RSG, you can do this buddy, but I think you need to reset a little. I completely understand the anger, and how the smallest of things can set you off. You will get past it, if I managed to get past it, you will too.. I just hope it doesn't have to get as bad for you as it did for me before I really understood I needed to forgive, which alleviated the anger.

Anyway, you did the right thing, you told her that if she couldn't be where you agreed at the time you agreed upon, then she could bring him to the house. That was perfect.

She text you and let you know she would be late, I remember when you used to get upset because she would be late dropping him off at the house and wouldn't tell you, and if I remember correctly, I think you said I just wish she would let me know. now she is letting you know.

Set a boundary, if this is something you really need to fix for your sanity, let her know that you expect her to drop him off when she says she will, and if she is not there by that time she will need to bring him by the house because you will not be waiting.... Personally, I think this is overkill, I don't think a few minutes here are there are that big of a deal, but if it is affecting you, then it is necessary. You come first. The other alternative, you could always bring the DR book and read it again while your waiting for her, make the time useful for yourself.

Anyway, I know that the anger can take over, it doesn't need to make sense to anyone because when it happens it is real to you, but it will pass, you've done well at recognizing it and handling it well.
