Walking on egg shells

Wasn't quite sure what I was doing wrong. Now that I know there is a name for this I'm actually relieved. And everything makes sense. But it doesn't make dealing with his unpredictable outbursts any easier. He and I obviously do not see things the same and it is so hard to try and not say something to trigger his rage. If I could convince him to get help, I know that would be one huge step in the right direction but he thinks he is just "sensitive". He's a recovering alcoholic and thinks there is no "cause", that it was just a fluke unlike so many of the others he went to meetings with who he felt had "reasons" for becoming addicted. His denial and delusions are profound. I am open to any ideas or suggestions ?

What kinds of outbursts is he exhibiting and what constitutes the delusions? We have tools here which can help reduce conflict and we will certainly support you, MillerGirl05.

Would an initial broad-brush suggestion be OK?
Write. Type it all out, even if it's just topic headers at first. A "brain dump" gives your thoughts some order and allows you to advance your thinking.
