“It needed it; she needed it.
There was a relief when it was done.”
She added, “For all my championing of female rage, I’ve never been an angry person.
For a long time the only time I ever got angry was on other people’s behalfs.
I’ve always internalized this thing of ‘I’ve done something wrong.
If you treat me badly, it’s because I am the problem.’
My husband was like ‘I’ve never heard you be like this.’
I was like, ‘I’m glad!
I’m glad that I’m angry!’
If someone steps on me now Im like, ‘Hey, f— you!’
That makes me feel good.”
