Acute Anger

E and I spoke at length last night about the acute anger I have towards N – main reason being how he deceived me into believing he was someone else. When we explored how I deal with anger, the truth is I am very slow to anger with those I love, very slow, but once angry, the anger simmers till it becomes a roiling boil – picture a turkey fryer and the hot peanut oil right when you are putting the turkey in, before the bird brings the temperature down – that is how hot I burn when mad – and I don’t recover quickly – it takes a long time to bring the temperature down again.

It goes hand and hand with one of my elephant qualities – I don’t forget.
