Anger Busting Workbook

After you take the kids and leave, your husband agrees to go to counseling.

Would you be willing to ask him to find another place to live while he is getting counseling? ______________

He has been in counseling for three months. You and the kids see him about three nights a week, but he is still sleeping somewhere else. He says he is ready to come home and begs you to let him stay. If you weren't completely satisfied that he was in control of his anger, would you be willing to say No, not yet?

If you can say yes to most of the options listed above, you are ready to learn how to become a trainer. Only time will tell if your husband will be a good student.

My Promise to Myself

As a way of closing this chapter, write a letter to yourself in the space below. Promise yourself that you are ready and willing to choose a different, safer and wiser path in dealing with your partner's anger and the consequences it has had for you and your family. Tell yourself anything else you need to say in order to get you ready for the next step in this journey to a safer, saner life.
