Glad that you wrote; I think that’s the first step, and it’s not an easy thing to admit, so the fact that you realize you need help and want to get it is huge.
I have a very short temper myself, and I have completely blown up over inconsequential things; looking back, it’s really ridiculous, if not embarrassing, reflecting on things that have set me off. My anger has ruined relationships and has severely damaged my current one (we're trying to work it out); I've said some nasty, demeaning things to those I truly love; and, while I haven’t hit my wife, I've sometimes hit things, so I’m scared that I could lose that small bit of self control that restricts my violence to inanimate objects.
We have small kids, and probably the lowest point of my life was a day where I wasn't actually angry: I was playing with my 3-year-old, and he asked, “you’re not mad today, Daddy?”
I am by no means “cured,” and it’s definitely day-by-day, sometimes moment-by-moment, but some things that worked for me:
Didn't mean to write so much, but I understand what you're going through and have been there, am sort of still there. Good luck to you, and don't be afraid to reach out for help!
This kind of thing has come up on reddit before and [this book](http://www.Beyond.com/ Anger: A Guide for Men: How to Free Yourself from the Grip of Anger and Get More Out of Life https://www.amazon.com/dp/1569246211/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_hXGfzbNR78E1C) was recommended by some self-proclaimed working on it/reformed dads.
I read a few books already, including this one I recommend: Beyon Anger: A Guide for Men.
Unfortunately there is no anger management class in my area. I used to have a t-shirt saying: "My anger management class pisses me off", although I have never been to one :P
Meditation was actually recommended by my psychologist. She believes it can help me with other aspects of life as well, like less anxiety, less stress, more productivity, etc.
Thank you for you comment. I wasn't aware there were so many different kinds. I'll educate myself a bit more in the process.
I suggest you write him a letter expressing everything that you feel, and you put it in this book. Put the book somewhere he will find it. In the letter let him know that if he needs to talk to you about this, that you're there for him.
Just in case...
