This post and your following post have a lot of really heavy content. I am quite thankful that you posted them because they've been really thought-provoking. I've realized recently that I have had a ton of rage related disasters in my life.

Mainly, I have kept people very distant and am figuring out how to open up. When I get somewhere, I will tell you what I've learned. When you figure something out, post again.

It's a learning process, and like you say, a journey, but you're absolutely right, it takes being able to identify issues in order to shake them off. Good luck to you, too!
