Hi Everyone!
This is the first time that I have used this site.
I need help and I am hoping that someone can give me some advice.
I have been round in circles trying to get my son help with his anger.
He is now threatening to take his own life, screams, shouts and bangs things. He has similar problems at school. I have tried new approaches and stratergies and nothing seems to work. I Am
at the end of my tether. I feel that I am loosing my son and I am worried that he will hurt himself or someone else. Can anyone give me some advice please.
Kind Regards
Debbie
hey, i myself, now 18, had some problems in this area at this age, though not to the point of threatening sucide, but as for anger, i hope i can help,over time the behaviour passed for me, so i cant really help in getting him to overcome it, but i can perhaps give you a possible explaintion for why he does.
i didnt know how to vent frustration, talking to people was hard, even today this attitude still exists in my making particiularly mcabre or overly violent verbal threats, or overly enjoying a kill or explosion in a combat video game, to the point of laughter. but at a younger age, physical violence against objects was something i did. i found i could vent anger well in watching things break, often rulers or pens, and then stratching, but not cutting, myself with the fragmented edges, running them down my arm. it was mostly because i had frustrations i couldnt talk to people about, or at least i felt i couldnt.
