[quote=Anonymous]I love him, of course, but he is really difficult to live with.   This is not a teen thing, this has been going on for a long time, but is certainly exacerbated by being a teen.  He is extremely moody, can be very obstinate, and cruel.  He says very mean things to me and his father, his sister, and occasionally other people.  He can be physical.  Strangely, he largely can hold it together at school, and has friends.  However, he always THINKS he is being made fun of, ganged up on, etc. even when with his friends.  I can tell you from years of listening in on what was transpiring, they weren't doing that or if they were, it was stuff boys do and not that big a deal.

We walk on egg shells constantly in the family and the whole feel of the house is not happy.  I feel angry at him for what he has done to all of us, including my marriage.   I constantly feel stressed and depressed related to him.   He is seeing a therapist, but not sure how much that is helping.  Again, no one other than in our household, and occasionally in sports or similar setting sees this side of him, so the school isn't any real help either.

We think we likely need to move on to a psychiatrist, but I have to say the idea makes me so nervous.  Coupled with all of this, he has a medical condition, that can effect mood.   This isn't the root cause, however, as this has been going on for years, and the medical condition only came into play a year ago.   I guess I am just venting, but I welcome advice too.   I honestly fantasize about leaving-though I would never do that.

Thanks.
