Facing the Truth: Phase 3, Anger After Divorce

• 1.) Once denial and fear have subdued, now anger sets in. 
• 3 Types of Anger (Which one is or was you?)
  • Passive Aggression - Angry but doesn’t like confrontation. You may find yourself sulking, procrastinating (putting stuff off you need to do), and pretending “everything is fine”.  A need to be in CONTROL!!!
  • Open Aggression - Lashing out in anger and rage.  Aggressive Verbally or Physically. Hurting YOU or your Ex.  You may find yourself fighting, bullying, blackmailing, accusing, shouting, bickering, sarcasm, and criticism.  A need to be in CONTROL!!!
  • Assertive Anger - A healthier way to deal with anger.  You may find yourself being controlled and confident, talking and listening, and open to help.  Helping to come to a resolution. Listening is not just to be heard but to truly LISTEN.  Demonstrate that you are mature and care about a healthy outcome. You are more open to FORGIVE even if you have not quite forgotten.

  • Find yourself asking, “Why me?”
  • Cutting off all ties that look feel or trigger a connection to your ex-spouse.
