[QUOTE="bigbear11, post: 539085"] Hello and Welcome! This is a great place for support, ideas and a very safe place to vent. I "lurked" on the board for a long time before finally starting to post. Sometimes it is so very helpful just to know you are not alone in all this and that the feelings you have are OK. We all need that safe place to vent! My Trex rages like yours does but not to the same extent... so I can somewhat relate. What medicines have you tried? The right one can make a huge difference... granted the wrong ones can make things worse (as it seems you have experienced). Another thought is... how do you react when he first starts to get frustrated or get wound up? This is something that we are working thru (so certainly not passing judgement) but can tell you that how we react makes a huge difference in the severity, frequency of her rages. Feels weird sometimes... like we are letting her "get away with stuff" but with the tension decreasing for her the behaviors are getting better. So worth thinking about. I am sure others will mention the "Explosive Child" book by Ross Greene... it is really good and gives a different perspective on dealing with this. Take care of yourself in all this. [/QUOTE]
