[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 190690, member: 3444"] Could be, but my advice is to STOP allowing that aggression towards you IMMEDIATELY. He may only be 12 now, and it may not feel like a big deal now, but ask yourself if you'll feel safe with him doing that at 15 or 17? That's a personal boundary that no child should ever cross -- especially with mom! Maybe he needs a punching bag! Or some other positive way for him to vent his anger without directing it at you or anyone else. Talking is important, too. But I've found with our boys that they often need a physical outlet as well. I usually have them take a walk or go punch the bag and then we talk it out. [/QUOTE]
