difficult child has been unbearable lately. We seem to go in cycles of managable to horrible. Some weeks good, some awful. This past week we are in crisis again. Every little thing sets him off in a rage of anger, hate and aggression. I don't understand why. He says no one in this family loves him, we treat him bad, don't let him do what he wants, always tell him what to do ( do homework, shower, brush teeth, put jacket on....normal parent things). He could not be any more defient or beligerant towards us. He wants to run the house and we do not back down to allow it so all heck breaks lose. He says he is going to leave because we all hate him and the family would be better off without him. I try to talk to him but he tells me to shut up. Says he wants to be left alone but yet he leaves no one alone and always instigates problems with us and little brother. I have never met someone so nasty, angry,defient, hateful or hurtful. I can't believe he is mine! How did things get so out of control? I feel like a hostage in my own home. He screams at us, defies us, shoves us around, blocks our way if we try to walk around him because he says he is not done with us. I had appointment. for neuropsychologist. but ins. said we had no coverage for that. I now have names of psychiatrists to contact today. I don't even know how to get difficult child to go since he refuses to admit he needs help and says he won't get into the car. What are my rights...do husband and I and my easy child need to live like this being verbally ans sometimes phsyically abused until he is 18 (he is only 10 now)? He is torturing easy child with meanness and I feel so bad for him. Sorry for venting. I have no one else as we lost any friends and I limit family visits due to difficult child behavior. I have spent the days crying so much that me eyes are swollen. Thanks for listening.
