difficult child has been a challenge since birth, but there were two incidents when it 'sunk in'. The first was when he was around 12 and threw a major fit about something (I'm not even sure what) and punched holes in his walls. He's been in trouble ever since, but never aggressive towards us. Until this past August - and much like Signorina's difficult child - he became aggresive towards us and the dilated pupils (shark eyes I call them) scared the crap out of me. This was right before his 17th birthday. I too, cannot look at his pictures from even last year when he tried to go back to HS. The eyes are different now, I'm not even sure I have seen him smile around us. I know he does when he's with his peers, but with us he is a dark creature that scares me.
