Don't be afraid to get angry.

Angry changes things. Angry drives us, motivates us, pushes us forward.

"Angry gets shit done."

You deserve to be angry at the piece of shit who did this, and every piece of shit who drove them to it.

That's OK. Don't wallow in anger. Don't sit she stew in it endlessly. But permit yourself to feel it. Do not fear your anger. Embrace it like a friend; let it take your hand and pull you forwards into positive action, even if that action is something as small and simple as choosing to be kind to others and live your life better than the person who angered you.
