Could my husband's bad temper, irrational behavior, and abusive tendencies possibly be indicative of a medical condition?

Asked by sharlene  |  Dec 7, 2009

I need to know if there is something wrong with my husband. Every couple months, his behavior is unbearable. He has a very bad temper which very often results in him being physical. He tend to break things and I fear being around him as he abuses me. I cannot understand how he could get angry over nothing and just goes off in this way. I dealt with this for 10 yrs and if he does not seek help then I cannot be with him anymore. Could he possibly have a medical condition ?

Dear sharlene, you must leave this abusive man. Wether he has a medical condition or not, it is NEVER acceptable to abuse someone.
Why have you dealt with his abuse for 10 yrs? Believe me, someone who abuses people is not mentally well.
I found myself in an abusive relationship and had the courage to end it after 3 yrs. You must stop enabling this man. He will not stop abusing you. They never do.
If he will not leave the home than you must. DO IT.

There are battered family shelters and support groups in many cities. Seek their help. It is NEVER OK to abuse someone. You don't deserve it, have not done anything to cause this behavior. He has a problem that you cannot resolve.

The problem is HIM! You cannot control or change him and it is NEVER ACCEPTABLE to abuse another person. I speak from experience as I just left an abusive relationship after 16 yrs. and 3 kids later. My life has changed 180 degrees. I am breathing and living again. I'm laughing and enjoying my life. He will never change and the issues are within him whatever they may be. He will need to seek professional help. Today I suffer from post traumatic disorder but I am seeking professional counseling for over a year. And it is helping. Slowing I am healing. I have a new lease on life. There is light at the end of the tunnel no matter if you cant see right now.
