AL ~ he was born with that me, me, me attitude, so I guess he was born a difficult child and it just took some time for it to all come out.
If you call a difficult child's hand at what they are doing ~ you get anger, there is no realization that what they are doing is wrong.
There is no thought process of how they are affecting others, just anger that you are not letting them do what they want to do when they want to do it.
so much self-destruction, it is senseless
