[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 205289"] Just a thought: When he's not angry or otherwise emotional, is he able to be rational and logical? Are you able to reason with him? I know my daughter is much younger, but when she's in the emotional side of her brain, she can't access the thinking side and vice versa. She often does not remember her outbursts/meltdowns/rages or does not remember the extent once she has switched back to the thinking side. I often threaten to record her so she can see it for herself, but I haven't yet. The neuropsychologist and therapist both noted that. They called it emotional dysregulation, but it seems to be an Executive Function issue. They also recommended Depakote for her, but I refused it at that time. She was 10 (I think) and I wasn't prepared to put her on that powerful of a drug at that age. Of course, his behavior also sounds like Borderline traits, too, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
