[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 403792, member: 1233"] This brings me back to all the things my gfgbro said when he was a teen. I wasn't an angel and said my share of hurtful things, but he was really world class. Often told me I was a waste of a human and he was going to kill me. Yelled things like every member of the family but great gma was worthless and deserved to burn in H*** and we couldn't die soon enough. But as soon as HE calmed down he couldn't understand why anyone else was upset or why there were things we didn't want to do with him because he had hurt us. It very much may be that his language skills are contributing - as barneysmom said. It may also be what Running said combined with what barneysmom said. I read in an article that often our kids want to control the environment. They would rather create chaos than let peace that they didn't create exist. It is because that gives them control even if it doesn't give them positive feedback or consequences. They get to decide what everyone else does and feels and that is how they can feel safe. To most of us that doesn't make a lot of sense, but to many kids it really does. I think your son may be using an incredibly hurtful, powerful way to do this. I am so sorry for your pain and anger.
