That is so tough, when someone could benefit from it but can't or won't see it. My childhood was mild in comparison, but my dad really had a temper that caused him to have these rages and irritability making things quite volatile in our house. He clearly always wanted the best for us and now that he has calmed down we all have a good relationship. The right help--therapy and/or meds (it might have been mood related, honestly) would have really made a difference in our family growing up.
Thanks for this!
