Having had similar experiences as you guys...I have found that the only way around anger and rage is to go through it. To be at peace with it. Not avoid it but to confront it. It is very counter to how we are taught to deal with anger and rage. We are taught especially as women to just forget it, get over it, put it aside. I have found it doesnt work that way, because that is where the power lives. Power unfulfilled...power unfocused. Energy that is useful, energy can be harvested in rage and anger...anger can be a real motivator. I have used this anger energy to do things that I never imagined that I could do. You can too. The trick is to "see" that anger is just energy and use it to your benefit. How? To allow the anger to consume you...to engulf you, to motivate you forward so you can see....see that you do have the power and allow that power to work for you. Btw...I needed to hear that, thank you for being impeccably honest.
