Justifiable anger OP, hope you can get over that.

I too struggle with justifiable anger. I'm trying (sometimes successfully) to not suppress anger, but to not let it "hook" me and drive my behavior. One thing that's helped a lot is studying Buddhism, which helps guide me on recognizing the anger, even feeling it intimately, without letting it take charge of my behavior.

All the best in dealing with this awful situation!
What do you study or read Todz? I know about meditation but, I am not sure how one studies Buddhism beyond that. I used to listen to the fascinating idea of Alan Watts online, when I was stressed or messed up, which all well and good but I was sober either then.
