Expressing Anger/Indignation

It can be difficult to express anger in a positive and healthy way. People often find
themselves at one extreme or the other--either suppressing anger inside or letting it
explode into something dangerous like road rage. These extremes are not good, but when
you express anger in a healthy way, you can resolve it more quickly and get back on with
your life.

be a woman to role as a gal. But you know, he got
another woman to stand for me. He burns me up!
