Is it normal i think someone in my family needs anger therapy?

I have someone in my family that use to be very quiet and got picked on as a kid and grew up and got into sports and now he is just violent and some major anger issues. I am worried at one point he started punching through walls but then went "No whatever its no big deal" I think this is a major issue.

He showing signs of anger problems and as well as that he punches or smacks whoever trys to wake him up. Sometimes he gets violent over simple things and I had anger issues as a little kids but I have self control and I learned to deal with my anger issues and I know not to hurt people and do not have nor have I ever had these tendencies like that.

I am sometimes concerned about him though should I say something? I not sure what I should do about this. He can not get any girls and that’s some of his problem but he needs to control himself. Does Anger therapy help at all? I am kind of concerned and I always give the benefit of the doubt.

    Yeah; from the looks of it, I'd say he needs anger therapy. Try to find a way to explain that to him with out getting him angry. If you really feel he needs help, then you should try to get him help.

    Why wouldn't you? Guilt, remorse, etc. And i said i apologized for thinking as such, so calm the hell down. And there is a whole fucking ton wrong with my mind, but this isn't one of those instances.

    Yes anger therapy is the BEST option. Please show this post to his parents.
    The problem is he may be punching out walls today, but being 'out of control' with his emotions, this may escalate towards innocent people if not dealt with ASAP.

    When you see shows on TV of life inside prisons, you will see where anger, if not dealt with, will end up. Some of these 'tough' guys in prison STILL look extremely angry, sadly they obviously didn't get the help they required when younger.

    Continue your quest everyday if need be, to get the parents to do something about it.
    Oh and stay out of his way, until he's better :)

    You shouldn't have fucked with him so much then. I did the same thing, I used to be a skinny little bookworm, got picked on too much, and got the hell over it. It's normal, it sucks, but it's normal.

    • Never told you it was me idiot. You are telling OP it is all them. How do you think that. Maybe it is a family member they care for. So if you go kill a person and are told hey you have a problem it must be do to person who reports it? You make no sense. I was not the one who did and I do not mess with kids with issues that bother them most. Get over yourself.

        My god that hurt my head to read. Made almost no sense whatsoever, and if it wasn't you that fucked him up, then good. I commend you for looking for help from him, and honestly it sounded like a guilty post, so i apologize for thinking it was you that abused him. Try sticking up for him the next time he gets messed with, and dont let him fight. Show him that there's other people in his life that give a damn about him. Makes a huge difference, promise.

        • How did it come off that way? Why am I going to ask for help for a person I fucked up. What is wrong with your mind?
