Being a Bitch to the EX

Anger is one of the stages of grief. Are you angry at your Ex Husband or are you angry at the losses and changes that are happening to turn your life upside down? Not that your not right to be angry at him for the Infidelity, but sometimes we have to choose being happy over being right. Expressing anger is a sign that you are beginning to deal with your loss. If anger isn't expressed, it will make you bitter and hamper your recovery. It is important not to bury your anger, and it is important to express all of your anger before you try to forgive your Ex. There's no magic formula to letting go of anger. It's simple. You have to want to give it up -- notice when it raises its head, and let it go consciously. When you feel the anger building write it down, put it in a letter, journel or however you express your self best. Then seal the envelope, close the book or turn the page, and consciously decide that you've let it go. If you can't let yourself grieve the end of the marriage, then it's not really over for you. By holding on to the anger, we hold onto the marriage. I personally am ready to let go of all of it, somedays are better than others, but it's always a choice I make.

Hopefully, one day we will all be able to let it go.
