Thank you for your question. Dealing with anger is a process that requires counselling over a period of time. The current situation is something that if it continues it will have very negative affects on your children and so it is important that you discuss the issue with your husband and convince him of the benefits of seeking help from qualified professionals. This issue must be solved with positive action as well as supplication and usually cannot be solved with dua alone.

May you always be successful.
