My husband, separated fir years, is STILL trying to control me. He is blocking every way forward to finalise the divorce (consent order/house).

I am filled with anxiety over it, he harasses me by text despite being instrucemted nit to. I feel like a victim and I need to change my way of looking at it.

So...how do I get myself out if the fear state and into one if anger?

Please don't tell me it won't help/will be destructive. Being controlled and anxious has kept me in my place and I need to step out of it

Sorry I didn't read your post before clicking post.
I'm so sorry to hear you're having a hard time with it all and he sounds like a total dick. Have you got family you can talk to, or even contact citizens advice and womens aid? I am sure they have lots of helpful information and even just sharing the problem may help you feel more in control and less controlled by him. Sending love .

Life is a lemon -. Meatloaf

Sorry you're wading though your ex's shit. There will come an end

When I'm angry I listen to System of A Down - blend of hard rock/metal but with some lovely melodies. Also The Sound of Silence cover by Disturbed. Very therapeutic.

Find yourself a Rage Room... google it, it's a thing. Then get a friend or two (pick ones you're not afraid to be vulnerable around), and go into that room and smash, break, cry, throw, rant, shout... Honestly, it's the best therapy there is and will allow all your angry thoughts to take over from any sadness and despair.

Calm app - this is brilliant to help you destress. There is the classic whale-type music, but lots of other options as well, including methods to de -stress, breathing exercises etc .

I know you asked for anger, but maybe approach it differently, and try to calm your fear.

Shit List by L7 is a particular favourite of mine 'when I get down and I get pissed, I grab my pen and I write out a list, of all you assholes that won't be missed, you made my shitlist'

Smile by Lily Allen is empowering - not angry, more beyond anger, sticking two fingers up at men who behave like selfish gits.
