[QUOTE="BKS, post: 557370, member: 15374"] Hi Elizabrary, Many thanks for your long and thoughtful response. I read it on my lunch break at work when I was really feeling low and it made me feels lots better. It is very helpful to know as well that worse is to come. <<sigh>> One of the things my son did on Friday as he packed his things was to play a pop song with the refrain "I'm gonna die young" several times. At one point he asked me if I ever went 24 hours without eating and was tempted to steal food. I told him no and he said "he" had. I then said (blandly) that perhaps in the future he should do better in meal planning. The family therapist has told my husband and me to be as 'bland' as possible when interacting with our son - hoping that he will start to face himself. I am realizing as well that inciting arguments and conflicts are almost like doing drugs for him - it keeps him from feeling his feelings. Thank you again, BKS [/QUOTE]
