I wondered how long it would take for this!
One thing I've learned:
Anger is the result of missed expectations. There, I said it.
Example: If you think that pulling harder on a shirt that has been tangled on a mass of hangers is going to result in a freed shirt and nothing else, you've missplaced your expectation. If you remember the fact that tugging only results in re-hanging three more shirts, then do what you know must be done, reaching in and untangling the hangers. Also, if you are using those thin metal hangers, switch to plastic ones that tangle less often.
Good luck CP! It's not easy trying to rewire your brain that has been programed for all of these years. I applaud your efforts. And remember, the reaction of anger to things can be taught. Perhaps you knew someone who reacted this way. And if Theo sees you doing it, he may do it as well.
I use to become the whore of satan while driving. But that's another story!
