[quote=Anonymous]I had the misfortune of growing up in a family like your DH’s and since that's how your DH was raised (programmed), he’s going to have to stop himself from passing this toxic behavior onto his next generation (your kids). It’s possible some of this behavior is due to genetics but I think nurture has a large role. Does your DH exercise? As a child, I suggested that my dad channel his anger and extra energy into jogging and going to the gym. He knew he had a problem and took my advice and it definitely helped—he stopped flying off the handle and beating us less. It took me decades to heal and I continue to do so—therapy, meditation, journaling, doing big fitness goals (triathlons, etc), being in nature, enjoying being with my kids, etc. Trying some of these might be helpful with your DH and kids as well.
