[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 176963, member: 3444"] There's another book called "When Anger Hurts" I bought at the recommendation of an old therapist who thought my husband might have Intermittent Explosive Disorder or some such thing (they didn't hit it off too well...) He needs to understand that his anger IS a problem if it's hurting you. I'm glad you're feeling a sense of calm -- I finally got to that place after spelling out my boundaries with husband, and even calling him on his divorce insinuations (he shut up about it after that). husband is also known to pout and tell the kids "Mommy doesn't love me like she used to" when he's feeling hurt and abandoned, although that's getting better. It's amazing how he just doesn't get it that there are TWO people in the relationship and things can't just go on as if he's all by himself. I find the Serenity Prayer especially helpful at times like this... Hang in there! [/QUOTE]
