Anger comes with the basic understanding that they did you 'wrong' . And often helplessness. We often turn to blame someone else for how we feel. It's what we have come to identify with. A 'victim' identity. To let go of anger Don't think about letting go. Rather than trying the zen approach or the karate form; why not ask yourself? Why are you angry? What made you so angry? Expectations? Guilt? And then you would realize you had the answer yourself. Every time you feel angry or mad, go to the 'source' because anger is a natural emotion and it allows us to work upon ourselves. If we can allow it to take its course, inherently we'll feel lot better about ourselves. Relationships are a mirror anyway. Why not benefit from it?

You try to talk to them, become friends with each other. Thatll probably help a bit.The better the friends the smaller the grudge.😊

Anger has been described as a poison that a person ingests in the hope that someone else will suffer from it. Learning to manage that feeling, and realizing that the anger is only poisoning you, may help you move past it.

the answer to anger is really nothing but moving on and forgetting and forgiving the other person to get on with your life, being angry doesn't solve anything only brings harm to yourself and maybe others who actually care about you. live, love, forget and forgive..

Do what you love. Do everything that you thought you needed the other, by yourself. Try until you succeed. Not only will the anger turn to commitment, but the other person will also regret leaving.

you could scream into a pillow, put on earbuds or just listen to music really loudly, you could punch a pillow (make sure not to punch anything too hard, dont want u to get hurt) or u could confront the ex and tell them how u feel about them.

anger is a sign of hurt feelings and need of closure. find forgiveness in your heart and all the anger will fade away in time. also find a way of closure where you can release that anger in a healthy way, maybe journaling your feelings or try art to release your anger (move your emotions from inside your body where you cannot control them to outside your body where you can control and let go of them).

Good therapy but mainly time. I know it sucks to hear, but time is the main healer with these things.

A healthy way to let go of that anger is to write about it and then tear up that paper. Sometimes punching a pillow is a good idea, you can't hurt it or yourself that way and it lets it out.
