[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, get your husband in individual therapy. He doesn't need to disclose this incident in detail to his therapist. He can tell the therapist he wants to work on anger management toward his family. In addition to therapy, I'd do parenting classes together so you can both learn strategies and reinforce them.[/quote]

+1.

I haven't posted on this thread before because it's so one-sided.

Yes, this incident was serious but I feel like it's missing the forest for the trees that this man WANTS HELP. His spouse wants to support him and learn something herself. If we are all being real, even if OP left her husband today and filed for divorce it's almost guaranteed that he could complete a parenting class mandated by a court and have 50% custody. That's just the plain, honest truth.

OP, I'd go and probably tell a modified version to the therapist for the sole purpose of facilitating the therapy and I'd make that crystal clear to your husband. You can find a post a day about men with anger problems in this forum. Yes, the best thing would have been not to marry or procreate with these men, but here we are. If one of them wants to get therapy and not have anger issues then I'd work to make that happen.[/quote]
