[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is he on any meds?  If yes, he needs to tweak them.
If not, your only option is marriage counseling with a really good therapist that can gently steer him to individual counseling and meds while you continue to work as a couple.  I am sorry - sounds really hard to live with ...[/quote]

OP here. First, I really appreciate the feedback so far. Thank you everyone.

Second, this response gave me pause. He’s not on medication but I’m 100% sure he has ADD (I’m obviously not a physician but I’m an educator and have seen my fair share of ADD). He also has terrible memory issues and he’s really sensitive about it (shocker) because dementia runs in his family. I know it worries him. I also know ADD can affect memory. If he’s awoken at certain points in a sleep cycle he’s a disaster. He can hardly put together a sentence and it takes him a long time to get with it.

Another poster asked about his redeeming qualities. He loves, loves, loves our children. He would never strike them. Ever. And although he loses his temper with hem it’s never for anything silly. It’s for the same stuff that makes me crazy, so I get it. He would die if he lost his family. He is smart. He is talented. He is kind to animals and he loves to make faces at babies to make them laugh. He has a good heart, and when he does loop back around after a blowup he is genuinely remorseful. He just can’t fix it, and it happens again and again.

Would it make sense to suggest seeing a doctor about the possible ADD/memory/anger? Is this all tied up together? Or at I just making excuses for him?[/quote]
