Has a rift been created in your family because of poor communication or serious anger issues? If you are married or in a significant relationship, has your partner suffered from your anger? If you are not in a relationship, why did it end? Choose a relationship in your life in which you and the other person have been angry with each other. Think about the interactions you have had with that person. Write about the relationship in detail, paying particular attention to the angry interactions you have had with him or her. Have you said or done things you regret? Are there certain patterns to your conversations or arguments? Is this someone with whom you live or have other relationships in common? Is your anger with that person causing indirect harm to another? Think about what you would need to do to stop being angry with this person. Could you forgive them? Could you let go of the anger you are holding onto? As you write, try to use the skills you've been learning: empathize, stay calm, and communicate effectively
