Hi there,

I'm not someone who gets angry easily.. If someone hurts me, 9 times out of 10 I take the blame myself and direct the anger towards myself. But over the last couple of months an asshole has been stalking, manipulating, and essentially sexually exploiting, my best friend in the world. The friend I love more than life itself. I would easily die for her. And yet again this douchebag has crossed a boundary. My best friend will be contacting the police but in the meantime I have been told not to contact the asshole so I don't make matters worse for anyone. And I respect that. Problem is...im not used to this sort of anger. I would be lying if I said I don't have thoughts of killing the abuser. I want him to suffer. I want to cut his neck and ruin anything and everything he holds dear to him. I'm scaring myself and exhausted and I don't know how to handle these extreme emotions when I'm not allowed to deal with them how I normally would (not that my normal response, though rare, is healthy anyway). Does anyone know any tips for getting rid of intense hatred and anger that's well deserved?

Thanks.
