I thought almost the exact same thing as Dinah when I read your post. I think it's wonderful that you get to throw tantrums with family members! Mine just visited, and they made me feel like ripping my own skin off, but due to my family dysfunction, nobody expresses anything directly, so I had to be relentlessly polite on the surface, which really took a toll. I think you should feel proud of yourself!
But it sounds like it is scary to have so many strong emotions that can get out of your control. I can sympathize with that. I agree that it's possible you aren't dealing with your anger on a regular basis, so that it comes out in big spurts like this.
