[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 688735, member: 17720"] Oh Lil, I am sorry. What a mess for you and Jabber. I remember the last time we made my son leave the house. It was dinner and a show for the neighbors, with husband, son and I all screaming at each other and me grabbing armfuls of my son's belongings and tossing them into the front yard. What a nightmare. I'm so sorry you and Jabber had to go through that. I agree with everything Copa said above. If he is that incapable of handling frustration, he needs to either get help or take it elsewhere. You and Jabber do not need to be a party to that, for your sakes. And for your son's sake, he will never learn to control his temper if he is shielded from the consequences of losing it. Lil, I would bet a nickel there are drugs involved. That is the only thing that explains such irrational behavior. Just because he didn't pay for them doesn't mean he didn't get them. If you truly feel there are no drugs involved, I think I would first verify that with a drug test. If that comes back clean, I think you need to insist on some neuropsychologist testing. You may be afraid of what you find, but it is better than torturing yourself with a thousand what-ifs and him not making any progress. If he is offended by either of those requirements, I would tell him they are a condition of staying with you, period. You and Jabber will not be subject to any more irrational outbursts like you witnessed today. A promise to not do it anymore is not enough. Again, I am so sorry to hear you, Jabber and your son are going through this. I am hoping that the explosion leads to some insight for him. [/QUOTE]
