[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 103550, member: 3647"] Angel, welcome to the board. Deep breaths. You are not alone. Good to know that you have an appointment set up to have your son evaluated. In the meantime, might I suggest taking a look at the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene? It is an excellent read with lots of good suggestions on dealing with challenging children. Chances are, he cannot control himself. Not his fault, not YOUR fault. If you feel like yo are depressed (again, you are NOT alone) PLEASE get yourself some help. You are nothing to your child if you are not at 100% yourself. Depression is real, and if you need counselling or medication, so be it. Parenting a child like this is not for the faint of heart. It takes lots of creative thinking. It means giving them as much control as possible. For example, to avoid something like that in the future, you might let HIM decide when would be a good time to cut his nails. This way he feels he has a say so in what is happening to his body. You found a safe place to land. Again, welcome. [/QUOTE]
