[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op,I don't think it is as dire as the responses you are getting. As you know if you read this board, there are many people on here who hate men and look for any possible thread where they can trash men to every extent possible. This is not a good place to come for reasonable advice about a relationship.

I would actually guess that only a few posters have posted repeatedly above as they often do that in threads where they can bash men.

Men aren't perfect, they express emotion and sometimes in unhealthy ways due to past issues, just like women do. That doesn't make them evil or abusive, nor does it mean you son will be scared for life.

You recognize there is a problem, you and he are both working on it. Talk to professionals about it for sure. They can also give you strategies and responses to minimize him getting any response to the yelling and how to point out to him in a way that he can hear that his temper is rising. You need someone who knows you both.

Anger is often one of the only emotions men have been allowed to express - everything else is seen as weak or feminine or socially unacceptable for a man. It takes time for those raised that way to learn how to identify the emotion they really feel and respond appropriately.

Telling OP that it's unhealthy to live in an environment where your partner blows up on a weekly basis is "hating" men?
