[quote=Anonymous]Not too late. And there is no alternative--deciding it's too late and then continuing on with your rage is certainly not going to be better!

I grew up with a rageful parent. I wish he'd gone to therapy himself and with me. Even if it only helped a little, it would have been good for me to see him trying. It also would have made me feel more confident becoming a parent, which I never did. We did foster care for a bit and I saw myself acting like my dad did. If he'd gone to therapy when I was young maybe I would have acted better or found it easier to change my own behavior. As it was, the child was only in care for a little while before going back to family--I was able to control myself well enough while she was here, and we didn't foster again.

I turned out mostly ok and even have a decent relationship with my dad now that we live apart. There is hope because you recognize that there is a problem, that it is your problem to solve, and that you can get help to solve it.[/quote]
