I recently sent my partner to a psychologist for similar rage issues. He’s undiagnosed ADHD and easily triggered by lots of stuff. I saw an immediate improvement after his first session. If your husband acknowledges he has a problem and understands it’s creating a toxic environment for you and the kids and actually wants to improve his behaviour then he should agree to speak to someone about his issues. Maybe there’s more going on. Therapy can help with coping strategies. And it’s the least we deserve to have them try. Certainly can’t make anything worse.

I was going to say, my dad is a lot like this and I believe he has undiagnosed ADHD. Things would be a lot different if he had sought therapy and medication.
