[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 532563"] Nancy, I really don't think this is just cravings for drugs. It might very well be an edginess because he doesn't have drugs to dull his pain and he is having to have his feelings. He has always tended towards anger when he is having a hard time. But I also think this is the personality stuff.... his psychiatric issues are really showing and that is actually good. I think they are seeing him at his worst and that is how they will help him... as long as his behavior doesnt get so bad that they discharge him!!! I was thinking about the therapists over the years he has liked... and they would only see this knd of behavior when we were in the room, in other words they would see his attitude towards us but they never saw it themselves..... and as good as they were I think they missed a lot!! So my hope is that somehow here they will see it and be able to help him get to what is really going on with him..... I think he totally uses anger as a defense mechanism. TL [/QUOTE]
