Some examples are intimidation, emotional or economic abuse, isolating someone, denial of abuse and blaming the victim for it, using children as pawns, enforcing male privilege or using coercion or threats. Many factors can underlie unreasonable anger responses. The most common is family of origin issues. Countless studies have shown that criminal offenders come from broken or high-stress families or are the offspring of parents who were themselves violent. If it were possible to arrest or control anger before or as it is happening, the world would be a much kinder, gentler place.
Some individuals add fuel to their personal fires by abuse of alcohol or lack of sleep.
Alcohol deprives the body of deep sleep and has a noticeable affect on persons. Put in other words, lack of proper sleep gives you a more raw personality, less willing towards consideration of others. Sadly, the deep-rooted family of origin issues cause personal turmoil from which alcohol provides temporary relief. But alcohol is a treasonous mate. Not only does it eliminate personal time that sufferers should be spending with themselves, sober, but it also triggers, in the worse sufferers, explosive and even murderous anger.
