[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 692479, member: 11791"] When he is NOT in a rant, can you discuss "rant management"? Things that can burn off some of the hot-headed rant-spewing, and make it possible to manage the feelings. Because the problem is the feelings, not the facts. Yes, there might also be a problem with the facts, but that is a long ways secondary. Rant = mega nega emotion. Running. Biking. Swim would work but isn't instant. Chopping wood for the fireplace (it's ok to be violent during a rant-rage, as long as it is appropriate violence, like splitting logs.) If there's some old stuff that needs to be trashed/dismantled before going to the dump or recycler, is there a space to keep a stack of this stuff? Shredding paper [I]by hand[/I][U]. [/U]Making bread (just squeeze the live out of that s.o.b. that is driving you crazy - your bread will love you.) It's really about teaching him to [I]recognize[/I] these feelings, and then to [I]manage[/I] them. [/QUOTE]
