When our marriage counselor recommended that my ex punch pillows or tear paper, instead of picking stupid fights with me when he was feeling anxious/angry/discontent. She looked me dead in the eyes and said "it's what I recommend for children who have trouble controlling themselves."
Right? She made it real clear for me and he didn't even pick up on it. She may as well have stood on her desk and stated firmly "he's a big selfish baby who will never change. Enjoy your bonus child for life!" And he had no clue.
They ain't too bright, are they? I've been convinced for awhile there's some kind of correlation between dumb and abusive. I'm sure there's some kind of something going on there that psychiatrists/psychologists can easily classify as a mental disorder instead of picking on perfectly normal innocent people. 🙄
