Similar. My XH would talk about how he "failed" at things. Said, "I have nothing". As we were packing up our house that had sold (part of our mediation agreement) he had a breakdown; sobbing and clutching at me, and saying that he was not "worthy".
I agree that they feel the need to take things out at times on someone else. I work with a student who has violent behaviors. He is on the spectrum and has trust and communication issues. But he has come a long way in the 7 years I've worked with him and very seldom hurts people now. He looks to me and my work mate when he feels confused or afraid. But when he feels the need to lash out at someone, he will walk away from the person who he is angry or afraid of and seek out me or the workmate to hit or attack...he knows we are "safe" and will still be there after all is said and done, even if there are repercussions and consequences.
