[QUOTE="Irish strong, post: 709004, member: 21389"] Oh boy oh boy do I relate! My son started raging when he was 14 years old. My poor daughter on 14 months older than him and I went thru hell! I tried everything to help. He got into trouble over and over. Actually barracaded himself in my home from time to time and I slept in my car. Afraid to call the police. His dad and I are divorced and he was little help. I finally went thru our school district after many attempts to help him get himself together, and had him taken by surprise from my home in the middle of the night and sent to a well known lock down boarding school in Utah. It was heart breaking. But I literally did not know what else to do. He would not go to school, smoking pot all the time, stealing etc. he was 16 and was there for 11 months. I really felt hopeful when he returned. 2 months back.... All started again. When he raged... He could destroy $1000.00's of worth of property. I did call the police many times. He was a minor however and always ended up back at home. Ke is now 22. He has continued to make impulsive poor decisions.
