[QUOTE="KierstenNiChol, post: 239209, member: 6738"] Wow, thank you all so much for your understanding and support! I have been feeling so alone . . . its nice to find people who understand. We haven't tried any medications yet--I feel we need to get to the bottom of what is causing his anger before we try to medicate. Right choice? Only time will tell. But, I'm learning quickly that I must trust my instincts as his mom; no one knows my little boy like I do!! Our counselor is wonderful. She has met with all four of us, as well as meeting with K. by himself. He seems to respond well to her, which is a relief for me. We had him in "anger management" counseling a couple of years ago (biodad's request), and it seemed they were more interested in counting to ten and hoping the feelings would go away than they were in finding the root of the problem. Biodad is another issue I'm having. He was supportive at first, saying threat of suicide is nothing to play around with. Since, however, he hasn't had anything to do with the process; hasn't even asked how our son is doing! I'm so frustrated with him I have to bite my tongue frequently to keep from verbally bashing him in front of the kiddos. Finding out last night at counseling that my son doesn't have these angry/frustrated outbursts at his dad's didn't help, either. One of those "ouch! am I really a good mom?" moments. I am so glad to have found this site!!!!! Now if I can only sustain the energy to drop by once or twice a day for some encouragement! [/QUOTE]
