"I participated in killing my father." These were the words that Evan, a psychotherapist who has suffered from anger management, said after realizing that his words could have fatal consequences; this was only the beginning.

"Anger Management: A Tragic Beginning: Evan's Story"



Evan:



"My name is Evan, I'm 49 years old, I'm a psychotherapist, specializing in counseling with angry men. I grew up an angry kid myself, my father was an angry man, an alcoholic. By the time I was a young boy going to school, I was over sensitive, I was self-conscious, and I would get very angry like my father, and I found it gave me attention. As I grew older into my 20's, I had relationship problems, my mood swings were just massive. I would go from rageful to depressed and crying.



On Thansgiving Day 1998, my father who had a heart attack, I'd not seen him in awhile, had become as angry as he was, said terrible things to each other. Eventually, I was let out of the ICU feeling pretty good that I had gotten in the last word. I got a call at about 430 in the morning, they said, he's remained upset ever since you left.



On my way there, he blew the stent in his heart, and he bled to death inside. When I got there he was dead, and no one else was around, I thought, he was right, I am no good, I am nothing. And here's the proof, I participated in killing my father.
