[QUOTE="tandcg, post: 274903, member: 7456"] I'm a newbie here too, and looking for support just like you. I can only offer one some bit of advice... My son (bipolar and ODD) gets really angry, really fast, especially when he doesn't get his way about something. One of his therapists told me that it is really important to walk away from a conversation with him before he begins to lose control. (Otherwise he just gets angrier and angrier...) Say you need to use the bathroom, etc. - anything to remove yourself from the situation, even if it's only for a few minutes. I tried it a few times and it seems to help. He doesn't drop the subject - he's still there waiting for me to come back - but while I was gone it gives him a little time to calm down a bit. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
