I need to talk and understand

By Christina Wednesday, January 16, 2008
It just seems like the fighting is getting worse. Its hard because I don't know what to do. I guess thats why I'm here. I want to understand whats going on with him and I want to know what my boundries are. I don't want to feel like I always have to walk on egg shells with him, but I'm scared I'm going to do something inconsiderate or overlook his condision. I'm really new at all this but I do love him and I want to help him, but i don't know how to all that is happening is stress and anger and I really need advice.
Good day

Do not put up with verbal or physical abuse.  Is he getting treatment?

IF not, he needs to.  Get therapy if you need to know what boundaries to set.  They're good at helping you figure that out.

I know my son can't control being angry all the time but he can control how he acts toward me.  I will not be his scapegoat.  He's not allowed to cuss at or be rude to me.  I stand up to him if he starts.

He can yell and he can go punch the punching bag but he can't threaten me.

Good luck to you and I hope it all works out.

thank you. The punching bag seems like it would be a good idea. He is getting treatment but his meds are still all jumbled up. I know that he has no right to make me feel bad, its just how to put it to him. I did end up talking to him and he seems to be trying which is really good.
