[QUOTE="keista, post: 436929, member: 11965"] Unfortunately, that is the ultimate problem here. [B]Sjexpress[/B] does NOT know where it is coming from, and therefore does NOT know how to handle it, and we also can NOT give any truly constructive advice on her question, [B]"Am I doing the right thing?"[/B] So, [B]sjexpress[/B], we can all give you advice and voice our opinions, but until you have at least a 'hunch' at a diagnosis, it's not going to do you much good. Until you know what's 'driving' your child's reactions, you will not know how to react. I gave the example of praising DD1's 'acceptable' expression of anger. But other times, when I KNOW that what she is doing is giving me "attitude" I put a stop to that very quickly. In the very recent past she was experiencing "episodes" that didn't seem to be her true self at all, and I treated those "episodes" differently, and had to 'experiment' to see what would work. During these "episodes" she was aggressive and cold and distant, and just plain BIZARRE. and I'm not sure I would have made it through all that emotionally if I had not found this forum, and gotten everyone's insights. While I was typing [B]Insane[/B] explained it very well, so please get your son evaluated by a professional. [/QUOTE]
