I have a son with behavioral problems.He also has ADHD, learning delays, Anxiety, and Autistic tendencies. He steals, lies, has exposed himself..showed his penis to other students, grabbed a teacher's breast, said and done violent things that have gotten him thrown out of school. What has bothered me the most is his aggressive behavior toward his 3 year old brother. I have punished and talked to him until i am blue in the face. He doesn't change his behavior and often denies he has done anything wrong. I just don't know what to say or do to help him. He has been in therapy since he was 8 years old He is currently 16. I recently tried to get him additional help through a program called Familys1st. However upon arrival the counselor informed me that her expertise is with kids with normal IQ and recommended a program he was in for years but that program did nothing to help him so i feel it is another lost avenue to turn for help. However the problem is currently not my son. It is me. The last few months i have not been handling things very well. I find my self just going off on him when he does or says things that are wrong...saying and doing things i thought i'd never find myself doing..just being down right mean. I feel extremely guilty for my behavior, but don't know how to resolve my problem with anger. Can anyone help with some advice??????? . I go to therapy twice a month.
