[quote=Anonymous]breaking things/raging is totally unacceptable.

she needs evaluation, anger management, something to help her cope and manage her anger in an appropriate and safe way. That being said, Your #1 job right now is to shield and protect kids, #2 protect yourself, #2, help wife with medication/therapy/whatever.   if not, separation is better than raising kids in unstable environment.

fwiw, DH has had similar anger issues--although not breaking things, but raging and shouting. HEre's what helped: therapist for his ADHD plus medicaiton; some therapy and my basically saying that he was turning into his father--an abusive, critical reactive jerk--and that I would not allow that to happen to me or my kids.

He still has high anxiety and is too reactive, but its much, much better, and no rage episode in a couple years, probably helps that we are in a better place with jobs, kids sleeping, schedules, etc. Still, the stress is not an excuse, but it is a factor that can provoke extant anger and coping issues. Your situation--two small kids, hellish commute--is tough. You seem to cope well, your wife isn't coping well. [/quote]
