I don't know you or understand you but I know the rage, that kind of scares me, my family still back off from me. That's okay with me now, though, it used to hurt and make me feel more isolated. I know where my rage comes from, I think, and knowing that has helped alleviate it, or stop it from spreading to everyone around me at least. It sounds like you're in a place in therapy where your therapist should not have left you alone. It sounds like your rage is coming to the surface, NOW, and needs to be dealt with on a moment-to-moment basis. If I were feeling the way you do right now and had no support system, that would just add to my rage.
Thank you for your encouragement to me, AG, you said the right things, I hope I've helped and haven't added to your bad feelings. When you work everything out the rage will eventually pass, maybe not forever, I don't know how good therapy really works, I only have my own experience (good/bad) to go by (and it's my fault if it was bad, too, I had toomuch rage bottled up and drove my therapist to la-la land) but I'm guessing that with fabulous therapy you'll be able to stabilize your emotions more or less permanently, or at least be able to manage them and quit driving people away. I think that was what you said, if not, I'm sorry, but rage tends to do that anyway. I speak from first-hand experience.
