When Does the Anger Go Away After Divorce? Real Talk for Men 40+ 😤➡️😌 DPTSP #121 || David M. Webb

Are you a man over 40 still wrestling with anger after divorce? You’re not alone. Welcome to the Don’t Pick the Scab Podcast—I’m David, your divorce recovery advocate, and today we’re tackling a question so many ask: When does the anger finally go away?

Divorce isn’t just the end of a relationship—it’s the loss of shared dreams, routines, and sometimes even your sense of self. For those of us over 40, this anger can feel even heavier, but it’s also a normal part of the healing process. 😤💔

Anger doesn’t always look like shouting—it can be irritability, resentment, or withdrawing from people you care about. The truth? There’s no set timeline for letting go, but you can take action today. Strategies like journaling, talking to a therapist, practicing mindfulness, setting boundaries, and regular exercise can help. 📝🧘‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Remember: Healthy anger can motivate change, but staying stuck can harm your health and relationships. Forgiveness isn’t for your ex—it’s for you. As the anger fades, you’ll rediscover who you are and open up to new opportunities.
