“I finally got to talk to my niece this morning. And a few hours after our FT call…I got a text from my sister asking if I could sit in the carpool lane. I’ve been wrestling against my rage all week and her text almost put me on my back. It reinforced my belief that I’ve been reduced to a call of convenience, and that gave me the reason I needed to emotionally erupt. But I couldn’t because I know my anger is used to light the gas they keep blowing in my face. Wrath reacting without remorse, to their behavior, used to make me feel like I had control over what I couldn’t understand. Now I just want to step back and let this be whatever it is. Because that’s the only way I’ll learn to control myself.”
