[quote=Anonymous]In the future, I wouldn't answer for your DH.  If he wants to say he doesn't have a low threshold for frustration, let him. Plus, it doesn't really matter.  What matters is how you manage your reactions.  You do not need to "handle" or react to his behavior and/or possible alcoholism.  Go to an al-anon meeting.  Not saying it's not difficult.  It's just not your role.

Ideally both parents would be learning and adopting the same strategies, but I've only seen a few couples who actually do this.  (My spouse and I definitely aren't one of them unfortunately.)  I've seen more than one parent (both moms & dads) storm out of an evaluation/therapy session/social skills class/IEP meeting etc.  Sometimes they are just frustrated, sometimes they truly have a low threshold for frustration, and sometimes they are in denial.

Given how stressful home life seems to be, keep going with services if they're offered.  You don't want a gap in services, then see a regression.  GL.[/quote]
