He seems to jump back and forth between agreeing with me that he needs to be better at controlling his behavior, and saying people provoked him first and he needs to react by defending himself. He did tell me that it's incredibly hard for him to just ignore comments and let things go, etc, which I already knew. He said that he can do it for a while until he feels like he just can't anymore. It definitely seems like a compulsive thing. Not saying that it can't be controlled, just saying that it's harder for him to do so than it is for the average person.
What do you think would have happened if I flat out told him that he was wrong (which he was) and that he got it backwards?
I think I know,...............BOOM!
The sarcasm gave him a chance that he didn't take.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
