Do you remember the meds his doctor gave him to calm him down. I have the same problem with Will’s anger and yelling. It is just awful! I locked myself in the bathroom the other night because he was insisting that I look at something he said was not right - it was about curtains I ordered. He even measured the windows so I could order them - and now they aren’t right. I wasn’t afraid of him, it was about leaving me alone. I didn’t want to argue anymore about it and he wouldn’t stop bothering me.
I wound up crying and he did back down. It’s just that I can’t do anything without him saying something negative about my decision. If it was up to only him, he would send the curtains back!

It is Seroquel - it took over a month for it to kick in for Bill. Amazing difference. They also have him on Clonazepam - very small dose - as he suffers from rapid eye movement disorder. This has also helped with that. It could get really scary when he would dream someone was attacking him and he had to defend himself (since I was the closest his 'attack' would be against me!)

With his constant anger he wasn't enjoying life either.
