[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639969, member: 1550"] Suz, I agree with you on all fronts. Youth is a factor. Young adults can change and learn control. Also, believe it or not, 37 was far worse in his 20's. You are lucky that your son, and I am not downplaying his mental health issues, is at least capable of being frightened without getting violent. It is so much easier to actually TRY to help somebody if you are not afraid of them. You are very wise for being so young. (Young to me is under 50...lol). I also have difficult child tendencies, as I've explained. I've cussed and kicked and punched pillows too and had to learn to be calm in the moment because panicking doesn't help the situation. Often it clouds one's thinking. But I can not seem to relay this to my son, although he at least gives my advice a hearing. But then he'll say, "That's you. I can't do it." And he won't try or go for help. He also relies on drinking far too much. It's his go-to coping mechanism. Thanks for your always stellar input. [/QUOTE]
