This abuse occurred in the past, in my teens and 20s; I am now 51 years old. Generally speaking, I am a person who has a number of successes in my life, and most poeple who know me would consider me to be intelligent, calm, and kind, but I am still affected by my own anger toward those who physically harmed me. Although I am no longer allowing myself to be abused, I am also not able to confront some of the individuals who did me harm in the first decades of my life, primarily because they have died or I no longer know their wherabouts (rather than being emotionally incapable of rational confrontation). The people are gone, one way or another, but the ANGER is still there - so what are some strategies for dealing with that anger that I still feel at these individuals whom I cannot confront? I would appreciate the perspective of persons interested in psychology, as well as those who have also been victims. Thank you.
