Anger is my primary survival tool. It’s not because I hate, but because I love. I’m the alpha male in my tribe, responsible for hunting and defense. When someone leaves my tribe, my watchful defensive eye, I fear for her safety — especially if I don’t perceive there being another in her new tribe as capable or diligent as I am who will take care of her as I have. I’m sad about her leaving, fearful for her safety, and primed to kill anything that threatens her in her new environment.

I can relate to your friend.
