Anger can be a mask. It’s also real. When you have an ex wife lie to your kids and hurt him. You just want to smack the shit out of her to teach her for the 1000th time he isn’t a play toy. Or the kid that picks on him because he’s new and his mom just left and you want to tell that kid he doesn’t understand who he’s fucking with.

I know this sounds unhinged. Nothing was done and things are pretty stable now. However at the time anger is real that someone is mistreated and did absolutely nothing to deserve such treatment.
