[QUOTE="Lillica, post: 25366, member: 3533"] He's 24 this month, has a very LONG history of ADD and problems with anger & behaviour (from what his mother has told me). My personal experience with him is that he is a generally very negative and easily irritated person. He has problems with anyone thats in a position of authority or that he feels has authority over him. His parents, my parents, his boss at work, counsellors (thus hes being resistant about relationship counselling). Whenever theres something thats associated with adult responsibility, he REFUSES to do or he just ignores it. We have 2 young children, this can't go on!! He deliberately aggravates or teases them, and doesn't know when enough is enough. He does it to other people too, my brothers, his friends etc - when they dont do what he wants them to do, he starts being really irritating and annoys them! If he gets mad at someone he gets arrogant and does vindictive things, shows a complete lack of caring or compassion and this continues til they do something that he likes or approves of then they're back in his "good books". Its like walking on eggshells. I never know if I'll do or say something to set him off. He really has a LOW frustration level, and if he gets frustrated, hes not nice to ANYONE. I've noticed soft drinks set him off.. think tartrazine is one of the things hes hypersensitive to. But it seems anything can do it. We've got cycles where everything is good, when its all good hes fine but when its not good, hes AWFUL! Then somehow its my fault? When I try to discuss his behaviour he starts in on about how I need to look at my own behaviour and not piss him off!??!?? I just want him to see that his behaviour isn't acceptable adult behaviour and that he shouldn't be behaving like that around his children. [/QUOTE]
