Anger is simply energy to resolve problems but it is many times misused. For those who are very insecure it can be used as a weapon to try to control others to meet needs and escalates to domestic violence. In over 50% of marriages there has been at least one incident of domestic violence. Many of the victims are so controlled they fear to leave the relationship. Even in these cases, through adequately setting boundaries either the person will change or will leave the relationship. Sometimes restraining orders or calling the police is required to stop the violence.
