Dear H.A.M., I have this friend I’ll call Dillian. The problem is, he has anger issues. He curses out Walgreen’s employees, bus drivers, and homeless people on a regular basis, and sometimes he resorts to physical violence. He elbowed me in the head the other day and repeatedly pushed me into the ground at a party last weekend. Also, he can’t dance. What should I do? Sincerely, Dazed and Confused Dear Dazed and Abused, We are sorry to hear about this friend of yours. We would like to advise you to take control of the situation. You should confront Dillan about how you feel about his actions and his abuse towards you. Tell him how it has driven you to provide a break for your friendship. Offer him the chance to talk to a counselor and work through his issues. Let him know that the behavior he shows towards you is not okay and this is your way of taking action. This maybe intimidating for you to do at first, but it is in the best interest of your friendship and your safety. All of our support, Dr. H. A. M. ]]> Wed, 22 Oct 2008 21:05:00 GMT
