It's not that I'm not angry.

Do I *know* what the right answer is?
Mmmmm, no. And also yes.
Like, I don't have a destination, but I have a direction.
And it isn't towards more rage, more hatred, or more violence.
@GeePawHill I’ve also been thinking so much about anger. It holds such a strange place in our society, at once seen as inherently negative but also for so many the only allowable emotion.
This is yet another area where I feel like having kids has really been clarifying. We tell our kids, your emotions are your trusted advisors. They tell you very important things about what’s going on and what you need. But you still get to decide what to do. (The “you” remains somewhat vague…)
Anger tells us we’ve been wronged. That’s so important. So what to we do when that’s the case?
