Okay, so that was a very nosy question. I'm sorry, although I'm glad it's not me!
I personally think anger gets a bad rap -- at least acute anger. I think it's the emotional equivalent of physical pain; it lets us know that injury and damage are occurring. People who have nerve damage and cannot feel pain know that they are at grave risk for suffering real injuries without knowing it. People who've just shut down their anger are similarly at risk.
Chronic anger, like chronic pain, unfortunately isn't so useful (you already know you've suffered injury) and can be debilitating. I hope it's not the type that you're dealing with.
