[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 459481, member: 1233"] Want to add that after a lot of time and therapy, I have the son I knew before the problems appeared back. He is a great young man, and has turned things around completely. Where once he would have spent his energy trying to break every rule that ever existed, now he uses that creativity to find things that are fun/funny and no one would ever think to tell him not to do. Things like the one in my watercooler thread about that boy of mine. I was completely serious when I said that if he had stayed in our home another few weeks then one of us would be dead or close to it. Your son is working up his nerve and confidence to confront you physically. Not jsut with taunting or forcing doors open - to actually hurting you. If you find someplace like Boys Town or whatever, it may be what is needed for the rest of you to survive him. Please don't let this continue to the point where things cannot be fixed. My son still wrestles with guilt over the many times he attacked his sister or I, and about the damage to my hand that happened during one of his rages and will be this way for the rest of my life. I have NO hard feelings against Wiz, I love him and I KNOW, deep in my heart, that there was a lot involved in his rages that he could not help. But HE has a far harder time forgiving himself than we have with forgiving him. I hope and pray that you and your son never get to the point that we were at, but I honestly think he is getting VERY close to it. [/QUOTE]
