Asking Eric: Concerns about son‑in‑law’s anger

Dear Eric: On a recent visit at my daughter’s home, I saw that the drywall in her house had recently been repaired. The repair was to both sides of a wall. When I asked my daughter about it, she said her husband had damaged the wall when he got angry about something but immediately assured me that he had never hit a person.

Needless to say, I am very concerned about her husband’s issues with anger management after this incident. They have one child, a toddler, and I visit their home overnight on a regular basis to provide childcare.
