It is so true that nighttimes are the worst.
My therapist would be very proud of you, you know. He doesn't like the way I shut off anger. He wants me to face that demon instead of "forgetting". Maybe this is just a step in learning to deal with anger in a healthy way. In learning that your anger won't hurt others because you ARE NOT like those who hurt you with their anger. And that it's ok to BE angry, you can still choose what to do with the anger.
My therapist is really good at modelling healthy ways of being angry without destroying anything, especially our relationship. It can be done. (By others than me of course. :) Life lessons are always applicable to everyone but me.)
