I'm sorry to hear about your unfortunate position DJHappy. Your description of your wife reminds me alot of myself and the way I treat my loved ones. This is by no means normal or healthy for anyone in your family...especially your daughter. I think your wife definetly needs to look into some anger management classes. As much as you think she may lash out again, I think it needs to be done. Like I said (from my own experiences) thsi is by no means a normal way of dealing with stress. When you propose this to your wife, ask her to respect your opinion and your feelings in being uncomfortable with the way things escalate when she is dealing with stress. This way, she knows this is simply how you feel, and your not labelling her a crazy bitch or anything. Explain to her that you want to make things better for your marriage and your daughter, and to please give it a chance. Good luck.
