Titch Nhat Han always said that it is ok to express your anger, but he also said that loosing your temper is not ok tho.

No Ajahn - here I would, from experience, advice a complete different behavior. First of all, anger is not unwholesome per se, but just an inheritance of our evolution. It's the power that also helps to protect. Sometimes it may be very supportive - also, or special for the one who bullies, kick him right between the legs, or right into his face - some only learn it the hard, or direct way - and of course you can do this with Metta. He might wake up and maybe you formulate the words: Don't do it nighter to me nor to others once again -or, more of this may follow - a reminder: The one who protects oneself protects others - and - vice versa ;)
