<human>: To start off, I am a 17F and I have been with my 18M boyfriend for 8 months.  We get along well for the most part, however the past few months have been difficult. In the beginning of the relationship, he was nothing but sweet. Recently, he has shown another side of him.

He becomes angry quickly and very easily. For example, he threatened to break up with me because I smiled at a guy other than him.  When he gets angry, he yells and it scares me. He has never hit me. He will storm off and tell me I piss him off. He will come close to breaking up with me, but he will never do it. He just wants me to beg for him to stay with me. An hour later he will apologize and tell me it's not him, it's his anger issues and depression. 

To add to this, his brother and father can't control their anger either. They frequently do the same things as my boyfriend, yelling and saying mean things (to each other, not me) and then apologizing after.  A while ago, my boyfriend and I were having an argument because he wouldn't let me wear ripped jeans. My boyfriend was crying, and his brother walked in, knowing he was crying because me and him were arguing. His brother told him this was why he didn't like me (I was out of the room). My boyfriend told me, and said his brother didn't mean it, it was just his "anger issues". I was still hurt.  I think his brother is incredibly immature. He is 22 years old and doesn't understand that sometimes arguments happen. Lastly, my boyfriend's brother and his father take his side whenever we argue. No matter this issue. My boyfriend will flirt with his female friends, I will get mad, and his family will always find a way to make it my fault. I want to add that I have NEVER yelled or become irrational angry with him. I always stay calm, something he can't seem to do.

Is there any solution? Is there something I should do or say? Or is this hopeless? I am tired of him and his family blaming everything on anger issues. To me, they are just shifting the blame from themselves?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: My boyfriend and his family always blame their extreme anger on their "anger issues". I don't know how to deal with this.
