Hi Meadow, you are fighting the good fight. Even though you might not feel you're making progress every little bit adds up.
I have a thing about people who 'cannot control their emotions'. They actually control them all the time, but they choose when and how. They might be model employee, so they are controlling themselves at work. Or they might be the perfect son or daughter.
Just saying people shouldn't get a pass on the grounds that they can't control themselves. Worst case, they can leave, expend some emotion on an inanimate object, on their own.
