[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 648707, member: 17269"] Lucy, I'm going to suggest a pause in your reaction to your son....his life is being uprooted, and there is chaos and high stress in his community. Of course it is so! Who reacts well to being told they have to move, and soon? Where will they go? How will they move? How will they find a place? that is scary and overwhelming for anyone. Most people react in an attacking or defensive manner when their lives are thrown into upheaval. Only later, when things have settled down, and the immediate panic has subsided, are they able to perhaps see their own role in things. I think that is a normal reaction. So...right now we can't know if he will ever get to the normal reaction part..but he might. Maybe now is the time for "this must be very hard for you" type responses. Just a thought. I know you love and try to support your boy, and I know you sometimes beat yourself up over his moods and situation...maybe this time he is reacting like most people would. All of us flip out when major life changes are imposed upon us. [/QUOTE]
