I would hate to be so paranoid about it. And making up stories about me cheating on her like 5 times. It hurts my feelings when I have said nothing or done anything to hurt her. I sometimes feel that she is trying to make me look like some kinda monster.

I think there may be problems in my ww fantasy. I just found out that her storage shed is past due. And now she is making stuff up about me like I have having a affair for all of our marriage. And it has been very confusing experiance. She wont talk to me and still avoids me I am baffled.

I am glad that I can admit I do have a anger problem and i am doing my best to fix it. I just wish I can just switch it off. It sucks that after I did anger management that I realized that my whole family is angry.

You and me both, friend.

Become very well educated with Dr. Harley's approach to anger management. Not all AM programs are created equal. I got some help from a book/program called Anger Busters (that Dr. Harley doesn't specifically endorse) that talked about a lot of the bad approaches to anger management that have been around since the 70s.

As for switching it off, if you will practice relaxation as Dr. Harley recommends, and practice the rule of doing and saying NOTHING when you are frustrated, upset, or angry, other than just relaxing when you are frustrated, you will find that over time your brain grows new neural pathways that are accustomed to problem solving instead of anger (insanity) when you are frustrated. It's fantastic! Dr. Harley went through this himself many years ago. You will find that you feel angry less and less.
