[QUOTE="tmay, post: 191870, member: 5767"] My son is exactly that. He has never had a behavior issue at school or friends' houses, church or anywhere else. But at home if you tell him "no" he goes into a rage and starts beating the walls, throwing things and becomes physically violent with me and his dad. It is so frustrating!!! We went to his school's open house the other night and both of his teachers talked about how good he is doing and how helpful he is in class. I am very thankful he is great at school, but it makes it hard to not take it personally the way he is at home with us. I think in our situation parenting skills has a bit to do with it because my husband has a hard time being the bad guy. I have been a full time mom since my son was born so I have always been with him more, thus I dished out the punishment more. But when my husband is home and I try to let him take over the bad guy position he fails miserably. We are going to a therapist for this and we are new at it still; we've only been going for a couple of months. I get so mentally wiped out and I worry sometimes what will happen to us if this continues. At the same time I don't think lack of good parenting skills can completely attribute to my son's violent behavior. I feel like for him to go to that extreme to get his way has to be more than our family dynamics. I am not convinced of the certainty of either of the diagnosis that have been thrown out (mood disorder, ODD) and have asked the psychiatrist for a neuropsychologist evaluation but have yet to hear from him. I guess I'm going to have to make myself known more to get something done. I agree with wakeupcall- Its time he stop thinking about only himself and "DEAL WITH IT!". No, you can't go to your friends right now and no, its not fair. Life's not fair, get used to it now. It will make adulthood alot easier! Sorry, got a little carried away.:teethy: [/QUOTE]
