[QUOTE="Malika, post: 461711, member: 11227"] Hi Insane. I think it's a bit difficult, personally, to draw a clear and unambiguous line between what is "deliberate" and what is not "deliberate" when it comes to impulses. J will say horrible things to me when his will is thwarted - it is more the exception than the rule these days, but it still happens. Does he do this "deliberately"? What does that really mean? He's basically a sweet-natured kid, and I don't say that because I am biased or can't see him other than with rose-coloured glasses; lots of other people have made the same comment about him. So do I think he "deliberately" wants to hurt or antagonise me? I don't see it that way round, really. I see that he is extremely frustrated and he doesn't have the skill or ability to deal with it other than by lashing out. I think his wanting to hurt is probably not in the picture - a few minutes later he will be his usual affectionate self... Do you see what I mean? It's very confusing all this... [/QUOTE]
