I wonder how he would view himself in a movie when in a rage and then looked at it after
he had calmed down. I'll bet he wouldn't believe that he could do such a thing. The
mind just becomes oblivious to anything he is or does when in a rage, I guess.

I do think seeing himself or seeing someone else throw back at him the very words he
uses on others might ring a bell somewhere in there.

One never knows, really.

I always wonder what happened in the childhood of some bipolar patients which makes
them fall into rages. It must have been something that really cut at the heart of who
they were as a person to make the matter a violent retaliation against others. Whatever
it is, it needs to be resolved by therapy through an excellent psychiatrist, I think,
in order for him to finally have peace.

I wonder, too, if he is like this with men whom he must deal with in his work and if
it occurs as often as it does with his wife. Something must threaten a very
precarious ego inside that cracks with the slightest pressure. It is sad but possibly
something that could be worked out, I guess. I wonder, too, if this behavior is
a learned one in the home when he was just a toddler.

I'm sure you think about it often. His mother seems to be able to reach him, but he
rebels against it after she's finished, though, from what I read in your threads. She's
on your side which is a huge help! (I hope, I hope.)

Learning all you can about his background as a little one might help in understanding
where all these problems originated.

Have a great day tomorrow.
