Question
i have the most wonderful wife there is. we have been together for over 25 years we are now 45. over the years i have a problem with getting violent with her at parties or on vacations. i even got very angry with my 14 year old daughter lately calling her a little bitch and threaten to beet her for lying to me over something very stupid.  i am trying to find out why i keep abusing the ones i love for no reason at all. its like i have no respect and tolerance for anybody. i need to know if there is medication to help make me keep me more on an even keel. i also need to find someone to talk to to help me to become the better man that i am.

Answer
Brian,
I don't think you need to know the why of your abusive behavior. You simply need to stop. You NEED to talk to a therapist and start working on ways to change your behavior. Go to www.aamft.org or www.aacc.net and search for a therapist.
