[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 426587"] I'm so sorry. Could your son be at least partially upset because you went away for a few days? It certainly sounds like there is much more here. Soooo very glad he is set up to see a Phd and a psychiatrist (M.D.). It sounds like both may be in order.He could very well have an issue that needs treatment. In the mean time, I would make sure he knows that inappropriate behavior will not be tolerate. Set up some household rules. Don't go overboard, but don't let your house be a war zone. AND don't tolerate rude, inconsiderate behavior. Have your husband or some other close relative speak to him about how he treats you. Hand out appropriate and logical consequences for inappropriate behaviors. Being "sick," doesn't excuse crazy/inapprorpriate/rude/over the top behavior. Be logical and dispassionate. For example...if he talks on his cell phone late in the night...take it away for 48 hours. If he does it again, take it away for one week. If he is rude to you...maybe take away his computer saying that his communication skills need work. Try to make it as logical as possible (sometimes this is hard). But don't go overboard (6 months with-o a phone or computer for example), try to tie it into what was done and try your very best not to get emotional. Do NOT feel worthless. This makes things worse. Somehow let it be known that you feel good about yourself, know he can do better and expect to be treated better and expect him to act better. Let him know that you love him, but you will not tolerate rudeness. Let him know that you feel that he can and will do better. Sending good thoughts that the docs can provide some insight/help. In the mean time, hang in there....take good care of yourself! [/QUOTE]
