My husband’s temper has been acting up again. The other day I asked for help with fixing the front door. The lock in our front door broke so I bought a replacement. I tried to repair it while he was at work so we’d have a functional front door sooner. Turns out the kind of locking mechanism in our door is a different shape than what I purchased so it didn’t fit. I asked my husband to go to the store and purchase the right kind since I was already working on the door. He didn’t want to so he asked if I could take the dead bolt off our back door and make do with that because he didn’t want to go to the store. Sure I’ll make do. So I tried to play Frankenstein with the new lock and the rusty deadbolt from the back door so our door could properly close for the night. The old dead bolt was very rusty with short screws and it wasn’t screwing together like it should. I tried for about 45 minutes to get it to work and I couldn’t get it to screw together. I called to him in the other room asking if he would either be able to screw the deadbolt together for me since I was unsuccessful or if we should consider calling a locksmith since I was uncomfortable leaving the door without a lock in it overnight. To this he responded with screaming at the Top of his lungs while punching the wall 1-2-3-4-5 times. He then entered the kitchen, locked eyes with me, screamed, and threw his phone as hard as he could On the floor. I told him that was an intense response and disproportionate of a response to me asking for help. He continued to rage at me. I told him that his response was inappropriate and it was unfair to the kids when he acts this way. He proceeded to tell me it was my fault for making him mad. He finally agreed to work on the door. I went to the bedroom to check on my children and my toddler was hiding under the bed and my oldest was having a panic attack and shaking. Apparently my oldest had started having a panic attack while her dad beat the crap out of the wall and he had proceeded to scream at her because her hyperventilating was stressing him out. I looked at the walls and found the dents and hole where my husband had taken his anger toward me out on the wall. He refused that He owed anyone an apology and went to bed. My family doesn’t believe me that my husband acts this way so me and the kids remain stuck.
