OUT OF PLACE, BURIED NOT FAR UNDERNEATH

As it turns out getting rid of the anger makes room for all kinds of other feelings that are difficult to feel.  I spent a lot of time holding on to that anger, I felt like I was justified and owed at least the pleasure of hating him. I forgot that anger is better left to people that aren’t me. So I am not angry.  I am forgiving and not so resentful.  What I wasn’t prepared for was and is what follows anger… every other feeling.  My therapist says that “Anger is a secondary emotion” I believe that to be true. I was angry but I was mostly hurt, disappointed, heartbroken, etc.
