Right, so, my wife has a serious anger problem.
She had told me before that she tends to get really destructive to the point of hitting whoever is annoying her, hitting herself, punching walls, and sometimes she tends to get suicidal, up to the point of trying to drink bleach of stabbing herself.
Yesterday, her sister kept provoking her for hours over something extremely trivial, even though there were two people telling her to stop talking. My wife, out of nowhere, when no one was expecting just grabbed the nearest glass of water and smashed it into her sister's laptop, breaking both in her hands, cutting herself in the process.
Now, I'm not here to confess something and trying to find out who's to blame; we told one to stop and another one to calm down, I got that straight already.
I just really need help with this. I really want to help her, and I don't know what to do.
Society holds a stigma against people who have anger issues, making it look like they're the ones to blame for everything that happens, no matter how provoked they are, so it's really hard to find help.
Anger management classes are about meditation, counting to 10 and all of the stuff that you never remember when you reach this point.
So I really don't know what to do. But I want to do something. Anything for her. I'm afraid she will snap again later and commit something more serious, and I'm worried about the time we have kids and she snaps on them.
I'm not leaving her. I'm staying by her side, helping her with what's needed, but the problem is that I don't know how to help now. Can someone please advise me on what should I, her or we do?
