how do you let go of anger, my brother is a loud mouth and i frequently get mad at him. sometimes for weeks on end i try not to talk to him, how do you let go of anger? he is not going to change the way he is and it seems to get worse the older he gets. he's quite the hypocritical loud mouth know it all. it all kinda stems from a physical altercation we had a few years back, he put me in a choke hold because i was walking away from him when he was talking trying to explain something. he apologized after i stopped speaking to him for a few weeks but i never really forgave him i doubt i ever will. i just try to forget it but every since then he makes me so angry

I let anger go very hard, it hold me for so long. I did not spoke to my brother for four moths when I was 16 or 17 years old. I can be angry for a long time on some person.

before you forgive you must forget what the bad things he do to you. let's do the healing until you forget and you will learn to forgive him

When someone makes me angry or upset I pray a lot for them and for my patience too.

If he apologized, then forgive him, but just keep from some distance if ever he gets angry again.
