[quote=Anonymous]First, I want to say I’m so sorry.  We lived through similar and it was hell.  I don’t know where you live but you got some advice for MD. We are in VA and had to call the police more than once. It’s so hard but you have to do it if you or your family is in danger. They will take him away in handcuffs and probably for an evaluation.  They never admitted our son and it was hell, I’m not going to lie.  Sometimes the police made it better, sometimes worse, but there is no choice if you are in danger.

After years of this and various therapists I learned to back way off.  In everything.  No pressure for school, we had to go through a period of backing way off for hygiene and picking up the room, all of it.   Don’t force acne meds or homework.  It’s not important.

My son is almost 17 now.  I wish I could tell you what helped but I think it was time and maturity.  He doesn’t have any of those outbursts and sometimes apologizes for the past.  It was a dark time but we got through it.  I hope the same for your family.  There are so many of us who have gone through it with a violent teen.  You are not alone.  [/quote]
