[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 332748, member: 1991"] I have found that for me, meditation helps. Nothing too zen or weird, just learning to relax and slow my breathing. I actually modified my exercises from childbirth to suit my medical condition but a payoff has been my ability (most of the time - not always!) to take a deep breath and relax, throwing off the tension in the neck and across the shoulders. It does sound like he's got different problems to my kids, even though superficially it resembles them. When my kids are anxious and panicked about something they have to have NOW, they do come across as rude and insolent. But for them, it is secondary. I do know, however, that there are kids out there who use the insolence and aggro as a front, as a tool and leverage to get what they want faster (or so they think). It's a fine distinction, but yes, it does require a subtly different response. At least he has two jobs. How long has he been in those jobs? Because with all the other problems, if he is able to hold down the same job continually, there IS hope for him. Hold that thought. You sound like you need something positive to hold on to!
