Divorce recovery for men can be a rough process especially when you are hindered by lingering resentment and angry outbursts. Rage and bitterness are one of the biggest problems for some guys who feel they simply cannot get over some of the things that have happened because of the divorce and just the divorce itself. This is quite understandable - but it is poisonous to your ongoing mental health and recovery form divorce.
There are various ways that you can control anger and resentment in your life. Entire books on anger management are written, seminars on reducing negativity, entire industries have cropped up around personal development dealing with anger as a chief concern. However with all the other emotions and troubles that come form a divorce you need an approach that can cut to the heart of the matter.
My advice is one based on a single logical argument. It will not immediately get rid of your anger and resentment I am sure but the more you think about it the more your anger will subside over time. The idea is very simple:
Anger, bitterness and resentment NEVER achieve anything for yourself. Instead they only make you miserable and unhappy. It also never hurts of hinders anyone else to any degree.
In the end YOU are responsible for holding onto your anger because you want it there as a reminder that you were a victim. As long as you drag this mentality around with you, you can never trust properly again, you can never be happy without a lingering resentment in the background. Being free of anger means that you release it from your mind and realise that there may never be justice - instead you should focus on living a good life from now on no matter what the circumstances you may be in.
