[QUOTE="Malika, post: 465453, member: 11227"] Hello and welcome. It's very good to see another man here - women are very heavily over-represented on the forum :) I don't have any expert advice to give you - am very much on a steep learning curve myself - but something about your description of your son reminded me of my own. He too loves animals and babies... (oh, and is beautiful, smart and all the rest...) and lashes out when frustrated, though this is now generally confined to lashing out at me (though this too has got rarer). To my inexpert understanding, conduct disorder is beyond what your son is doing. I would like to understand more about impulse control and the lack of it and what, if anything, can be done to improve this (other than medications). I do see that my son occasionally controls himself, chooses to do that, so I don't see it as something that is immutable and set in stone. I think it is very good - for your health and sanity aside from anything else - that you start each day saying it will be a good one :) [/QUOTE]
