This post is about anger and coping with this emotion I usually avoid.  I recently went NC with an emotionally abusive mother and sister, which I feel somewhat conflicted about.  But whenever I think about being in contact particularly with mom, I seethe with anger.  I think about sarcastic things I would say or do.  Instead of trying to be the good daughter, as I've been all my life, I would probably avoid or glare or be rude.  I would love to tell her to go to * but of course that wouldn't solve anything.

Experiencing and releasing anger is tough for survivors of cptsd.  Anyone else have this experience?

Absolutely. Anger is a tough one for me to allow to do its thing. I always feel as if I have to control it and that in controlling it I am somehow hurting the other person, but that's not true.

Being sarcastic seems appropriate. Going forward as the good daughter idoes not.

You have the right to avoid and/or be rude.

It's ok not to like a mother who mistreated you.
