[QUOTE="Lil, post: 635857, member: 17309"] I mean "excuse" like the dog ate my homework. :) As opposed to an actual reason. The reason would be he messed up and lost his transportation and didn't find another way to work and got fired for absenteeism. His excuse would be his parents took the car away. I know, I know, I really, truly do know. I really know that I need to step back. It's so hard when he's still living at home. It's so hard to try not to be "mom". I go back and forth on it. I try not to say anything to him. I try not to tell him what to do. I do fine for a while then I just can't stand another minute of it. You folks must be so [I]sick[/I] of me whining about my kid when I [I]know[/I] how much worse it could be. The rest of you definitely have kids worse off than mine...homeless, drug addicted, serious mental problems, suicide attempts...and I have a kid who has tantrums. I feel guilty for even being here at times. But when it's happening, it seems like the worst thing in the world. When he's freaking out and slamming things and screaming and shouting and [I]literally[/I] pulling his hair out and acting like a crazy person I just ... it terrifies me. I see him losing control like that and I'm so afraid he's [I]never[/I] going to stop flying off the handle like he does. He should [I]know[/I] how to behave by this point in his life. He should have more self control. We thought [I]"He'll outgrow it"[/I] for so [I]long[/I]. But he hasn't. He hasn't outgrown it. Incidents like that may be further apart than they were...but new situations like this, things going wrong, he doesn't know how to handle it and just falls apart. That's the ONE thing I would like some therapy to help with. [/QUOTE]
