[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 549262, member: 11791"] AG - I feel for you... AND I feel for your difficult child. All that anger? I'm guessing it's just a front. Especially for guys, many other issues come out as anger. This is especially true of mood disorders like anxiety and depression. Its almost as though they are trying to put up a fight to avoid facing the problem... for a guy, you have to be a real wuss to admit to depression or anxiety. Given the genetics and history... he's got a lot stacked against him, but he is going to have to find a way to face the problem. Those photos? I'm guessing he [I]knows[/I] those will be triggers, and he's not sure he wants to face that. So, he can't really acknowledge the contents or the effort yet, either. You're doing the right things - it's just hard to not get the immediate positive feedback we are looking for. [/QUOTE]
