I REPEATEDLY asked him to stop.. to go for a walk.. that he shouldn't be talking like that in front of the girls.. to go cool it.. walk the dog.. and he just kept it up.

I finally got up, walked past him to open the front door and yelled for him to get out! Our dog ran out the door without leash so I told him to go with it. He wouldn't, total power tripping, so I leaned into him to get him out. Again, I'm not strong. He didn't budge. There was no intent to harm. I did not hurt him or hit him.. but because I TOUCHED him and the door was OPEN he shouted, "PHYSICAL ABUSE! GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!"
Well he now has witnesses of two similar incidents within few months time frame: neighbors, family etc Kids are getting older and now repeating it to others etc

It’s only going to get worse. I hate being a downer but I don’t see how and why he’d become someone else. No amount of reading DBT books will make him into a different person
