[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 197680, member: 5957"] Wanted to give a warm welcome as well. You have already been given much advice. I second, third, whatever, the advice that you go get him a really good psychiatric workup and find out what is really the problem. It sounds like he has some learning difficulties amongst other things. I also agree that the book Marg mentioned "The Explosive Child" would be helpful. I just picked it up to help with my own. Who while not as old OR as violent as yours seems, still exhibits similar behaviors. I have found out that this violence/screaming/etc. is sort of a coping mechanism for them. They just don't know how to handle the world being so confusing/frustrating/etc. I haven't gotten to the part which tells you what to do about that yet, but I'll keep you posted. LOL! Anyway, the other thing to do, is take a break for yourself. Find a friend to phone when you need encoragement, come here, take a relaxing bath or shower, lock your bedroom door and listen to some music, go to a movie while husband watches kids maybe not till the little ones go off to sleep, etc. It's okay to find that coping mechanism for yourself too! And lastly, know that it will get better. [/QUOTE]
