"My name is D. McC. I’m a 38-year-old husband to a very wonderful wife and a father to an amazing 17–year–old daughter. I have been in prison ‘this time’ for the past 7½ years. I have always had a strong love for my family, but for some reason I could never overcome the bondage of anger. It was as if my anger would just take control. The next thing I knew I was in the back seat of a cop car asking myself, ‘Why?’
"I give glory to God that I have never struck my wife or daughter, but for the rest of the world, it was pure rage. I had become so sick with myself that I looked for my own death.
[I met the Lord in prison, and under the guidance of a chaplain], "I thought I had cleaned house and was looking pretty good. Then came Uprooting Anger.
I now see that just because I don’t put my hands on people when I get angry, doesn’t mean my anger is not damaging my life and those around me. I now see that anger still had its claws, or should I say roots, in me. But today, I can say thank you, because of your course, I can now recognize what my triggers are, and I now stop and ask God ‘Why?’ ‘What’s up with this, God?’ This alone will change the outcome of my anger."
