Wow! You got him to open his ears, Ali. That is just scratching the surface, though. He has got to work at this. If not a book, I think there must be something. He can't just magically "work" without taking in any information or advice or messages. No one is that powerful. Maybe he hates reading. Maybe there are tapes or something that he could listen to in short timeframes over time to help him stay focused and aware of his anger and why it is there. You are his angel.

Are there any men in your community of friends that are respectful, good men that he hangs out with? I think who we choose to spend time with affects our growth so much. I know about the horrible bar people from your previous posts. Is there anyone in your family that can influence him?

You MUST keep your integrity, so that you can keep looking at yourself and seeing beauty. Don't go backward-Stay the course!

My post is hideous today.
