I am new to this site but I need help for myself and my son..... Here is just 1 night with my son.... I was going to walmart to get pull ups and it was 8 pm my son was suppose to be in bed but refused so I allowed him to watch t.v (not that he really watches it) I told my son he could not go with me because it was late and he has school in the morning, Well he did not like my response so he threw himself down on the ground was hitting himself and throwing things now I have learned not to pay much attention to him or it gets worse well he decided to bite himself hard enough to draw blood, I did not notice until the blood was seeping through his shirt, I said to my son you are bleeding let me clean you up he tells me no it does hurt I will do it again I walked away.... He destroyed my house, broke my blinds broke the dresser was throwing things around, finally I went outside (big mistake) he tried coming out I told him its too dark He says If you dont let me out I will just break my arm now..... My son carries on for at least 2 hours, I am clueless on how to begin to handle these outbursts..... He can go weeks being the sweetest most loving child and then just change like he is not the boy I raised. I have a 7 year old daughter who is very well behaved even helps me to not set of my son, She gives into him very easily because if she does not he will hit her. Every time my son does something wrong he does not see it that way he says they were mean to him. Now I am a single mom I am home during the week but work weekends, I have some emotional problems such as depression and bi-polar, His father also has some anger issues never diagnosed with anything and my daughter has depression. I need some help I feel as though I am failing as a parent the doctors dont help because he is so young but it is an ongoing issue since he was 2, Any advice will help PLEASE!!!
