[quote=jjconcern]Does your son live with his father?  I am wondering since you said the argument was over the phone.  If so he is may be observing how his father is relating to other people in the same way that he related to you or pushed your buttons.  Either way your son has some of the same tendencies or behaviors and you see how is able to push your buttons.  The good news  is that your son is able to connect what he is doing to you rather than being ignorant of his own behavior.  If you can identify it you have more power to change it.   It would help him if you recognize this behavior, towards you, early on so that you can give him feedback immediately to stop it.  Also to remind him that this type of behavior pushes people away from you and does he really want to alienate people who he loves.  Just because he learned it doesn't mean he can't stop it and learn other ways to deal with frustration or anger when he can't get his way.  He will feel much better about himself if he is able to learn more healthy ways to handle conflict.    I hope this is helpful. Hugs to you.[/quote]
