Depression
Let's take a closer look.
Amari had trouble controlling his anger lately. He had started at a new job after the family moved this summer. He was not happy with his new teaching job. He didn't know anyone and they didn't have a soccer program so he wasn't coaching.
He is still keeping in touch with his family and friends and seeing what they are doing on social media. It is making him jealous. He didn't want to move but it was a good opportunity for his wife and her career.
