[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had this experience (not really the swearing, but the frequent angry yelling at the kids), and the root cause was that my husband was an alcoholic. I don't know if there might be any substance abuse in your case. But I just want to mention this because I learned as he went through rehab that an explosive temper often goes hand-in-hand with substance abuse. I just thought my husband was a mean jerk in addition to a drunk. But it turned out it was all part of the disease. He has been sober now for two and a half years (he went to rehab after I made it clear I would be taking our children and moving out if he didn't and is now active in AA) and is a different person. He still has a shorter temper than me, but it's no where near as bad as before. And I just have to say quietly say, "honey ..." when he's about to explode and he'll catch himself and calm down.
