Any ways take his hands adn hold them and look him in the eyes and speak very softly.... and you are going to have to tell him this is unexceptable way to behave.

That's what I'm doing if I can sense he's starting to get upset... If he's already upset... then you just can't reach him. Afterwards when he's settled down a bit then I sit down with him and talk gently to him... looking into his blue eyes... holding his hands in mine... Then if he's calm enough... I ask him if he wants to use pen and paper to tell me how he's feeling inside and what is worrying him. If he's not fully calmed down then I go get pen and paper without asking and then I draw and write to him. At that point when I'm drawing I don't talk much... once it's down I ask questions and often he opens up and lets me know what's troubling him.

The thing right now is to get him to feel better about himself. He really needs to see a psychologist on a regular basis to learn more about himself and his disorders. Sure... I'm there for him... teaching him... but he needs more. If I only could I'd be with my son all the time... but I've got a daughter too. I need to be there for her as well.

Today has been a really rough day and I ended up in tears. I just can't find it in me to write about what happened today. Lets just say; I've been hit a lot today.

Thanks muffy for being there for me!
