[quote=Anonymous]A little similar here...my DH and I are both from the same culture that is quite patriarchal and where corporal punishment is very normalized. He grew up in an emotionally, and potentially abusive household. I was also hit with belts, had my mouth washed out with soap, etc. My DH is very laid back but something about those toddler/preschool years really brought out the worst in him- there were a few instances where he went too far (nothing crazy, but too far for my comfort zone). Anyway, what I did once was video him losing his temper and I think he scared himself and was so ashamed-he's never had any issues with losing control or his temper since and it's maybe been 5 years or so? He also did not need therapy or meds because he quickly got his act together and did some major self reflection and soul searching and contemplation about his own childhood. This situation may not be the norm, but just wanted to offer you my experience. I do agree that he should be looking into therapy, meds,and definitely parenting and anger management classes. Also, older kids are much easier in a lot of ways- those toddler years can really bring out the worst in a lot of people.[/quote]
