my boyfriend has an anger problem do anyone knows a good class to take him to?

Question

we live in fort worth, tx. i am afraid it is going to get worst and we have a baby on the way.

Answer 1

just because you have a baby by him does not mean you have to remain in a relationship with him, you cannot make him take a class he has to first realize he has a problem and want to better himself so that he wont take things out on the people around him, things will only get worse before they get better, if you are afraid of him then take some much needed time apart from each other until he is ready to take a anger management class and even then keep your distance from him because him getting to get over his anger issues will take some time and maybe a long process before any results are made...

Answer 2

There are a number of church groups that do couples classes and parenting classes, I believe that the united way would also have some resources, but I don't belive that any class will do your boyfreind much good, if he is not the one looking for it.

I think what the other folks and I are trying to tell you is that you already know this is going to get worse, you just don't know how much worse, how much pain, how much damage.

It doesn't matter how sweet he is when he says he is sorry, sweet words never fixed a broken bone and it never takes away the truth of what he really thinks of you when he screams those ugly words at you. When he is screaming, it is his true feelings. Why would you stay with someone who feels that way about you.

If you are not married and pregnant, I think you would be qualified for enough assistance to be able to get on your feet. There is a resale store by Pacheal high school and Mama's Pizza on Barry street called 'Barry good buys' that is run by the womens shelter. You can go there to look for baby clothes, or books, or something and talk to the folks that work there. If there is a class that would work, they would know. If you need help, they would know that too. It a kind of been there, done that group of folks.

There is also planned parenthood on Henderson, just north of Harris hospital, just past the jack in the box, turn before you go under the overpass. they might be able to get you some ideas also on what you can do to protect and take care of yourself and your baby. Good luck child.

Answer 3

Well, if you strongly feel that he has an anger problem, I don't think there is a class that can fix him. First, he has to realize that his anger is an issue. Then he needs to take action.
And what kinds of things does he do to express his anger? Anger is OK but its how one releases that anger that is the deal breaker.
If you are not feeling safe, then you should definitely leave. And if his anger is really scary for you...then how do you think a baby is going to feel?
One final thought from me...If this is a way you want your own child to be, then stay and let your baby grow up around this behavior and he may turn out the same.
Be careful whatever you decide to do.

Think abut this, did you learn to drive the way you do from your driving class? Do drug addicts stop doing drugs because they are in rehab? Of course not. Behavior is ingrained deep inside us and if he never learned the SKILL, yes the skill of self control there is no class that will change who the man is at his core, which is a bully. Stay with him and give to your self and child a life of being bullied into submission for fear of retaliation. How much will it break your heart when you see him hit your child in rage and not be able to do anything to stop him?

Answer 5

Your never to late to dump him. It seems like your scared of him. Once the baby comes it's only going to get worse, trust me , get away while you can. Its not worth it, there is always a way out .
