When I was growing up my Dad was pretty much my guide rule. I didn't like most thing's he did so I didn't do them. He smoked I don't smoke, he drank I don't, he use to get yell and get very angry and I didn't do that. I think 2 out of three were okay, but on the last has caused problems through my life. Stuffing the anger doesn't work as I have found out thirty years later. I use to think it was great that I didn't get angry. That we never argued in my marriage. LOL. Boy was I wrong. I know when I feel angry now I am usually feeling helpless in some area. However it is still real easy to suppress the feelings still. So I have to always be vigilant of how I am feeling which I know is a sign of emotional maturity. The funny thing is once I know how I feel it is pretty easy to go from there. That first step can still be tricky sometimes.

It is good to let out your emotions but I think the angry emotions need to be controlled!! http://journals.aol.com/shayshaydc/Golfaholic
