Thanks Perna

I don't accept his apologies all that readily. My acceptance always comes with, well, a "stern talkin'-to" about how it needs to change, that we will discuss it in therapy, and with a warning that it drives a big wedge between us each time he does it. Someday it could turn into a wedge that splits us apart -- I'm nowhere near that point yet, but he's yelling as an outlet for his feelings -- mine don't really have anywhere to go.

He's working on a lot right now, between weekly therapy and a weekly ADD coaching session. Both professionals are aware of this behavioral pattern of his, and maybe once he's reached a point of stability in a few other areas, they can focus on his anger management.

In the meantime, argh.

thanks, Perna!
