[quote=Anonymous]It does not matter if it technically is defined as domestic violence. Why are you guys quibbling over definitions?

It is wrong. It is uncontrollable anger and not adult behavior. It is a sign that someone needs therapy at the very least and probably medication.

I know that was true for me (a woman). I raged. I threw things. I broke things. I was out of control. Arguments escalated and things got really ugly. It was all a symptom of depression. Google depression and "anger attacks."

Now, on medication and with therapy, I *never* do any of that. My spouse and I did marriage therapy too. We talk about our problems and even when we disagree, it never gets ugly.

Do not normalize this. It is not normal. It is a relationship/trust killer! What's more, it is bad for the person doing the breaking and raging. It does not feel good to be so out of control and scary. Do not let this go unaddressed; it is good for no one. Especially any children who might see this--for them it is truly terrifying to see an out-of-control adult who is raging. Believe me, I know, because I saw it growing up.    [/quote]
