[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have been tolerating his inappropriate behavior to you with no consequences. That’s why he does this. Now you have an almost adult man who believes he has the right to push you around. I’m honestly not sure it can be fixed at this point. The best you can do is learn some basic behavioral management techniques and not reinforce his aggression. That is, you just walk away and let him face the consequences. Drop the rope. [/quote]

Not sure where you’re reading that he’s never faced consequences in the past- he’s lost phone privileges, been grounded, lost his gaming computer, received detention at school etc. 
It’s a bit weird that you jumped there… so I’ll disengage with you because I don’t think you’re a good judge of human behavior yourself [/quote]

So truthfully OP, does he game more than he sleeps? Please don’t take offense to this question, but it could be a large part of the problem. I notice my kid gets very irritable when they are online for too long. As an older teen it could very difficult to withhold device time, but hopefully there is something that he could be interested in that could distract? Believe me it is a daily struggle with any device in my home and I empathize with you.[/quote]
