Dr. Phil - Season 12 - Eps 173: A Mother Consumed with Rage: Is Her Anger Destroying Her Family?
Thirty-year-old Ashley admits she has an “extreme” anger problem and verbally and physically abuses her husband of eight years, Aaron — at times, in front of their 6-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter. She says she’s quick to become enraged, often screaming so loudly at Aaron that she loses her breath or blacks out — and she admits she once even punched him in the face while he was holding their baby. What’s at the root of her rage? And, why does Aaron — a former Marine who fought in the Iraq war — put up with this treatment? Plus, Ashley admits she also takes out her anger on her son by screaming in his face, and he’s now suffering from social and emotional issues. Dr. Phil sits the couple down in search of a resolution. Can Ashley learn to control her temper, for the sake of her children? And, can this marriage be saved?
