[QUOTE="happymomof2, post: 231554, member: 4270"] Hi, it's been a while since I have been on this board but it is a wonderful place. I have been fortunate for the past year that my son is doing much better in general and learning to control his anger better. Hubby and I have had arguments about difficult child and his anger. He just thinks he needs to control. Well yes he does, I agree but it's a process of learning how to do that. Hubby doesn't and never has had anger issues so his son isn't allowed to either, I guess. I had anger problems in my teens as well. My mom did not take me to a doctor or provide medications. Good or bad it's what happened. I still have anger sometimes but no where like I did when I was a teen. I even broke my hand once hitting a wall. My dad had anger issues, I did/do, now my son does. I found that as I started getting older and more mature I did indeed learn how to cope and control it. I firmly believe my son is doing the same. He still has outburst occassionally. What upsets me is when other people "think" they know my son. One lady ask if my son could go somewhere and I was very hesitant for very good reasons. She looked at me like I was nuts. I felt like saying "lady I have lived with this kid for 15 years and I know what makes him tick and get ticked off, don't try to stand there and act like I am crazy because I won't let him go to a certain place". And then you have the people that just don't get it and have to have it explained to them. difficult child's girlfriend got him all riled up one day because she wouldn't shut her trap. I called her on it the next day when I was alone with her. I wasn't ugly with her I just politely ask her not to keep on and on about something when she sees his getting all bent out of shape. I know him well enough that when he starts getting aggitated you just need to leave him alone until he calms down. If you don't it just ecalates and gets totally out of control. What is the purpose of that? What good does it do? Nothing in my book. I am not saying walk on egg shells but you know best how to handle your son. Hang in there and again you have found a great place for advice, suggestions and comfort. [/QUOTE]
