Bless your heart -- he sounds like a "dry drunk." He is doing the same behavior but he's not drinking! It sounds like he hasn't completely "surrendered" to the fact that he's an alcoholic, and needs a power greater than himself to restore him to sanity! If he keeps up like this, he will certainly drink again.

I hope the antidepressant helps -- but he's got anger issues that need addressing. I hope his therapist is helping him with this.

I know how difficult this must be for you --- you've been thru ALOT already being the wife of an alcoholic -- that's enough for anyone to deal with, let alone being abused when he gets sober! You must let him know that this kind of behavior isn't acceptable -- and if he's going to blow in the future, he can go out in the backyard and show the neighbors how he behaves!!! Let him know that if he wants any peace in the family, he's going to have to do his part! Just because he's getting sober doesn't give him license to act like an ***.

Best of luck & God bless. Keep us posted, please? Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!
