Without knowing the level of violent outbursts and assuming they are not life-threatening...

I've been on the receiving end of many nasty outburts. My philosophy is simple that I use in all aspects of my life. Rise above those that treat me poorly. Remove them from my life, as much as possible. Don't react to them as it gives them control over me. I'm a good person and I don't and won't let "them" change the person I am, the choices I make, or how I live my life. I like who I am.

When I was married with 2 kids to an addict (unknowingly), I didn't like who I was or how I felt around him. I left him because he was the one person in the world that didn't show respect for me and could get me so upset. Now divorced, I have hope. Life is simplier, despite his "woe is me, it's everyone else's fault" attitude. My kids are strong and they continue to amaze me with how they handle the "outbursts" and drama he creates...Especially my older child who is 10 year old. He has more wisdom and maturity than many adults. We're getting through this. We're going to be okay. It's not easy, but we're strong.

Life is what you make of it. Make the best of every situation. Cxxx may happen in your life and if you handle it right, it will make you stronger. BE STRONG.
