[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - I saw your previous post, this sounds like a really difficult time, please ignore some of the very negative posters. I really recommend, as others have said, that you and your wife see a therapist experienced with teens together. If he will not go to therapy right now, the best best thing you can do for your family is get support for you and your wife. A therapist can help you think through how to respond, how to remain consistent and how to be a united front. Once you have a good support system for yourself in place, a consistent plan for responding, and a therapist who can help you understand what is going on below the surface of the cursing you may get to a place where your son is willing to participate. But start yourself first. Remember below the yelling there are a lot of emotions going on for your teen, you need to figure out what is going on with him and within your family dynamic. Teens can be very tough, it sounds difficult but I think you’re taking first steps. Also consider talking to your teen about what’s going on outside of the time the behavior is occurring- witha goal of better understanding your son, not punishing or telling him what he did wrong.. The therapist could help with having these convos. [/quote]
