He doesn't live with us, but we pay for his apartment, utilities, etc. We love him but hate his rampages.
Last week I left his counselor a voice message telling her of his anger and asked her to help with the issue. My husband told me that doing that was a mistake. Will his therapst tell my son about my voice message? If she does, now I'm really afraid of what he will do. Is she obliged to tell him about it?

A therapists job is to "help" a patient. If this therapist is any "good" she/he wont just "tattle tale on you" she/he will take that message and possibly ask your son if he "gets angry" at his parents. Or the therapist could recognize your son still needs to develope better skills in controlling his "anger".
