How To Deal With Anger

Many Domestic violence victims have anger issues because they stuff their anger when they have been in domestic violence as they do not feel safe enough to say how they really feel. So it is helpful for victims and abusers to do a anger management course because they will be educated about the types of anger and what type they have.
