Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi am really quiet new to this group but my son is 9 yrs old and I,ve been dealing with his behaviour for most of his life on my own, I can totally empathise with you with your childs behaviour and aggression, it is so demoralizing and heart breaking for you, as aparent to deal with these circumstances. Firstly may I just say that Iam from Eangland and it seems that there is so much support for children and parents in the USA, I could be completely underestimating the services in my country, as I have waited 4 months from getting a diagnosis of Aspergers syndrome from the speech and languaeg therpist that I fought for in school regarding my sons poor social interactions, to seeing a peadiatrition for confirmation, I have had very little help with managing certain problems, my son becomes violent towards me, when I get to the bottom of the problem it is something so trivial to antbody else - eg: what time his school swimming lesson is- I do find things out from the teachers but it seems that until my son actually does the swimming, he cannot settle, and so the build up to this is hurrendous. I have absolutley no advice to give you as I do not now how to deal with my own child! Which absolutley breaks my heart. I am waiting to see this peadiatrition in the hope of gaining some management skills. This makes me feel totally useless, and when my son is 'on one' I too try to remain calm, and walk away, just to evaluate the situation and try to cope in a rationalle and controlled way, this is extremely hard to do when your own child is hitting you and saying the most dreadful things, it leaves me mad, angry, weak, confused, and very very sad. T he fact that my child who I have loved so dearly, gave good values and morals to (to the outside world my son is cute, adorable well mannered, polite and funny) can turn so rapidly against the person who has put the most into him. As I said I can offer you nothing but empathy, I know what you are going through and its hard, at least when people write on here you can maybe contact support groupd etc like others but thats the USA, I dont think I will be so lucky, but anyway, good luck, you are definatly not alone. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
