Aggressive behavior

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

  • I'm having similar problems with my 10 year old.  He is just so angry.  He hurts his brothers if they do not do what he wants and he is aggressive towards me.  He chucks things around too.  I also say that there are 2 (lets call him Sam) Sams the good Sam and the baddie Sam. 

    I am also a single parent and his father will not acknowledge these problems and says I need to discipline him more.  He is impossible to live with. We can't go on a day out and holidays are torture. I am seriously at the end of my tether and feel that I don't want to be a mum anymore.  I can't believe I feel like this but nothing I do can make things better.

    I am waiting for an appointment with the the Social Communication Team but everyone is on maternity leave.  Do you think my GP could prescribe any medication to calm him down in the meantime?
