I disagree with Miller. I come from a childhood background of emotional and physical abuse from parents who are religious fanatics - thus they believe they can do no wrong because "god" is on their side. Also some sexual abuse but that came from a family friend (parents denied it and covered it up).

As a young adult, I have started to feel intense bouts of rage which surface now and then. During my bouts of rage, I find it hard to function - I can't concentrate at work or in class, I feel extremely angry, I SI and take out my anger inappropriately on authority figures (like my college professors). I would do anything to suppress this rage. I wish so much I could magically forget about my life before age 20 and move on with it.
