[QUOTE="Turningitover, post: 191967, member: 5859"] Thanks, Nancy for your input. Although it's a little disheartening. Wouldn't it be great if there was a magic pill for everything! Yes, I've read Explosive Child, but not Manipulative Child (same author?). Did my signature not get on my last thread? I'm still trying to figure this site out. I don't see my second post on there. My son has trouble coping with any negative emotions, especially disappointment, frustration or anger. I expect some anger and defiance, but to him it's all a catastrophe. Instead of sucking it up and "oh, shucks!"-ing it, he must blame someone and then avenge against someone or something. That may be, calling us "Jerk, Stupid, Idiot", etc... Or it might be breaking things, messing things, hitting, kicking, throwing things, running "away." (We own acreage and he really just goes to the end of the 1/4 mile-long driveway and stews for awhile). I used to see the good, nice person underneath sometimes. But now I'm just seeing a child with just his interests in mind. I don't want to lose him. [/QUOTE]
