Becoming an angry person after abuse

2 replies

therapysessionsnow · 18/01/2019 11:11

Been married for 8 years to a man who mentally and emotionally abused me, we've separated now and he's just moved out. I only see him at drop offs and pick ups, and even that is too much for me. I get anxiety when I'm around him, I also find it really difficult to pick up the phone when he calls me about the children, I've rather text. I don't want to hear his voice, it just triggers so many emotions. I don't like the person I've become, a person full of hatred and anger. I hate him so much, and I'm considering therapy and anger management as I don't think it's good or healthy for me to have so much hatred against another person.

Just looking to see if anyone else is in the same boat.

I used to feel like this - similar story, first 2/3 yrs were tough - I was like a coiled spring ready to burst at any time. 7 yrs later I'm in a very different place - No anger.
I had a good therapist too.

It will ease with time, it is time for you to heal now Flowers

I'm with you, my children only have to say the words 'daddy says...' and I'm a bag of nerves, followed by a frankly unreasonable amount of rage at whatever shite he has fed them this time.
I absolutely hate him, and I'm one of those people who likes everyone.
