How does a person stop being angry?

Listen to a calm song. Remember that you control your emotions. Is is REALLY something to be angry about? Try volunteering in your community and help some people out. It may help take your mind off of things.

Try to think like this before you get angry and turn green into hulk:

1)What am I so mad about?

2)Is this even worth being angry about?

3)Can I maybe talk this out with the person?

4)Who Or what caused this?

5)Why is this problem occuring?

6)Trash talk about the person in your mind

7)Think about good memories about it.

Yesterday I was so angry that these older kids or preteens were walking in my yard yesterday.

So, I sat in my front yard for an hour. They came back, but they saw me so they avoided my yard and went to neighbors yard for a short cut.

I have written a journal anytime I feel something ticks me off. Usually by writing it down it calms my nerves.

Let's be honest, this question is misleading and not really relevant. I am glad that you allow looking at past questions in Y!A, or I would not be able to give you a really relevant answer. Ok, the roles are reversed in your family. Your hubby pretty much acts as stay-at-home mom, while you work to support your household. HEY! It has worked all this time! You say dad loves his kids! You asking for a divorce cannot do anything BUT harm everyone, so don't go this way. You did love eachother once, so you CAN love eachother again. Your kids now require that you stop comparing your marriage to that of others ; wondering "what-if" is pointless, and frankly, selfish. You both DO need counseling to fix this, and I suggest it be Christian-based counseling...nothing else will give you the strength to give of yourself in way that saving your marriage will require from you. (I don't hear anything from you to suggest that hubby wants divorce at all.) I suggest that you both find GOD, and please don't smirk at this if you haven't invested any effort in this direction.

(oh yes, one more thing....maybe hubby is so tired after chasing 3 kids all day that he is too tired at bed-time for anything "else"! Yes...how many guys complain that their wives are too tired to be interested in sex after chasing the kids all day? Once again, the roles in your family are reversed, so daddy may just be pooped!)

Try not to think of the stuff that angers you. Think about the good things that make you happy!!
