You're anger is so understandable. Decades ago I had a psychiatrist who wanted me to buy a bunch of old dishes and go down into my stone-wall basement and break them as an outlet for my anger.
He was just too strange, as was the whole idea and then of course I worried about how to clean up the broken shards.
Maybe you should let one of your boys take you to a batting cage - I haven't done it much, but I would think swinging a bat might be useful.
I'm being trite here - I know anger is frightening, and I've never expressed anger and felt all that great about it afterward. And I have blown up at my kids. But you also can't just bottle it up and let it gnaw at you from the inside.
