I have been here a longtime but changed name, so if you work out who I am, please do not out me.
My husband has always had a bit of a temper, he tended to slam doors and punch stuff when we first where together but hasnt happen for a long time and he appeared to have it under control, with it only happening maybe once a year.
In the last week he has lost it twice infront of our children. Once because he said I was nagging him, and he popped one of the kids balloons and stormed off slaming door and breaking frame. DC1 was in tears she was very scarced.
The other was this morning, I was asleep and he was downstairs with our DC. Clearly he was trying to get ready for work and running late (because he spent an hour sitting drinking his coffee )
He woke me yelling at our youngest for hurting the eldest (a number of times this morning). He had her in his arm and sat on her on the step. He sounded so scarcy, I just ran down the stairs screaming at him to stop it now and calm the hell down.
Both DC were crying and I took them both upstairs with me.
Now he is never physical with me or the children and this rarely happens. Im not scarced of him normally but when he loses it he does scarce me.
I remember very clearly my own father being like this and how scarced I was as a young child.
Now he has said sorry so many times to me and the DC today, is horrified that he lost it this morning and knows its not acceptable and I will not stand for it.
Has anyones DH had anger management or is he likely to be turned away as "its not that bad"?? I have told him to look at his triggers and warning signs.
