[quote=Anonymous]He's got a lot going on with his brain. It feels awful to be on the receiving end, but the more dispassionate you can be, the better. It's fighting our own nature, but the more you can do it, the better it will be. You don't need to let him off the hook for his behavior, but don't make it personal and don't escalate it by dumping his plate. Look for ways to connect without pressure--a TV show, talking in the car (places where eye contact is not required). I second the rec to look at OCD a possibility--a lot of crossover with the other stuff he's got going on, and a lot of anger can come from anxiety/OCD. Good luck OP--it sucks, but this too shall pass.[/quote]
