[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 520785"] WantPeace, I am at EXACTLY the same point with my difficult child. I got a well-deserved lecture from my Al-anon sponsor yesterday because I warned difficult child three times before I did something. Please understand my comment is to help. Have you considered telling him to help? We all know they should help. But, if your difficult child is like mine, they haven't got a clue. Besides, some exercise might help him work off that anger. It's working for me. Yardwork brings peace. One other thing I have done with difficult child is to use my ipod at times when I don't really want to hear his voice. If he indicates he wants to speak, I will slowly remove the headphones - very nicely because if he figures out what I am doing he will only talk more - listen and then slowly put them back in. He gets tired of it soon and shuts up. I recommend what I call my Angry Woman playlist....lololol Sending peace your way. [/QUOTE]
