[QUOTE="Roxona, post: 682735, member: 19076"] So far, he hasn't been able to verbally express anything really other than he thinks he's bad. I'll try to ask him how he feels after he's had a tantrum. His father says he's been like this all his life. I met him when he had just turned 7, and he used to be even more chaotic than he is now...so some of things I've tried have worked. I wish I could understand being out of control or unable to control yourself. That's just nothing I have any experience with, even as a child. My father was out of control from substance abuse and mental illness. Mom was always away at work (2 sometimes 3 jobs). I was the oldest of me and my sister, so I was put in charge from an early age. If something didn't get done or was not to my father's liking then I got the lead buckle end of the belt. I learned very quickly to be in control at all times. I don't know any other way, so dealing with a child who cannot or will not control himself is a crazy maker for me. So it's known...because of what I experienced, I did not use corporal punishment with J, and I will not use corporal punishment with any of the other kids. [/QUOTE]
