[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m no expert in any of this but want to let you known that I’m so sorry. I’m sorry for you and I’m sorry for him. [b]He sounds like a typical teenager[/b] but you are not in a position to handle it. Please reach out to somebody who knows you both. If I were you I would reach out to your doctor who might be able to refer you to someone who could help. Not necessarily get him adopted but someone who could help you both cope with this very difficult and sad stage in your lives. He knows you’re sick and he’s acting out. Help him find help.

Much love to you both.[/quote]
Why do some people think "raging teens" is typical. I have two teens. Neither one are ragey.  They can be annoying and sometimes difficult, but they aren't raging. Something is off if they are raging.[/quote]
“Does not apply to my experience of two kids” is not the same as unusual. Many (not all, or even most, but enough so it isn’t unusual) teenagers act out; this kid also has a mom with a scary diagnosis and apparently no father figure or extended family support.[/quote]
Raging is not normal. But yes, as I stated. "something is off" with him, and I'm sure it's due to OP's cancer.

But raging is not typical teen behavior. Please. Otherwise, all teens and their families would be in therapy.[/quote]
DP.  “Raging” isn’t exactly a technical term, so what OP or anyone else refers to as “raging” is not necessarily how you or I thinks of “raging.”  That is particularly the case where the person making the subjective assessment is going through a medical crisis herself and her emotional resources to cope with her son’s emotions may be lowered.
