Posted on Fri, 2 May 2014
Question: my boyfriend has anger management problems and he is 36 years old. he was addicted to cocaine until 32. he lives in on fire island which is very secluded. i have been going out with him for 2 months . his mom got murdered at 3 years old and father got married and step mom wasn't very good until she had children. he was then pushed away. we are looking for anger management books. i do have a problem because he says he had coc because he wanted to have friends and have fun. he was never told that he had problems. many of his girlfriends where alcoholics. he also doesnt have id and health insurance which bothers me.

Brief Answer: need more info Detailed Answer: Hi I am Dr Mittal, MD It seems he has several problems, many of which may be due to a disturbed childhood and a turbulent growing up phase. The market and net is full of books and techniques that tell about anger management. Personally I would suggest finding him some hobby to which he does not object. Music, meditation are great ways for those with anger management issues. Keeping him out of conditions that make him uncomfortable can be a problem sometimes. A visit to a psychotherapist would be more beneficial. As for insurance, he should definitely get one. I am sorry but from the query I am not very sure what you want to know, so I have given a relatively general answer. Please respond so I can help you further .. Dr Mittal
