[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 492552"] Hello, and welcome to the board. I can see my own son in some of the things that you describe, and I know that it can be heartbreaking to have to watch and live through. Let me tell you, though, that it CAN get better. It takes alot of time and patience, and a good team of psychiatrists and tdocs on your side, but it can get better. It will never be perfect, but there are time when better is all that we can hope for. Does you son see a therapist? If not, I would try to find one. If you're not sure where to start to look I would start with your pediatrician. See if they can recommend someone that they trust and see if that person works for you and your son. It sounds like he's got pent up anger and he needs to be able to get that out, regardless of what he's angry about. You mentioned the friend of his who passed away when he was young, and that absolutely could have affected him, but I know from my own experience that a difficult child can pull anything out of a hat to be angry about and will hang on to that like a pit bull. Do you have someone that you can call when your son threatens you? Someone who can come to the house and help you by trying to calm difficult child down? We've had that happen here and when difficult child is spinning out of control like that nothing that I can say will get through to him. By then he's just too far gone and I can call my in-laws and my father in law will come down not only to make sure that difficult child does nothing to me, but to talk difficult child down from the ledge. Have faith. You've come to a great place for support and comfort. [/QUOTE]
