[QUOTE="Steely, post: 494221, member: 3301"] Janet - actually what you are saying is what has helped for Matt too. While in Dallas I remodeled the kitchen. He knew how important all of that was to me, and he never slammed a cabinet door or smashed anything in that kitchen after that. Now here in Portland he has a "do-over" so to speak with new walls, etc., (haha) - and again - he has reigned in his anger really well. I think he does not want to destroy things that have meaning now. However, if things get really over the top, he will slam the side of his hand into a wall, not to punch a hole, but I guess to relieve tension? I don't know, I can just see the bruises. WipedOut - I always saw it more as of relieving the pressure inside his brain - kinda like Janet said. I have had doctors suggest having him throw balls, or give him a punching bag to punch - and it only made it worse. In fact to this day, I will ask him if he wants a punching bag - and he says no - that only makes me want to hit more. [/QUOTE]
