adult son--to Eileen

[Guest guest]

Hi Eileen-

I just want you to know that there are others out there who know how you

feel...I have a nine year old who has been aggressive for the past 3

years and I

have just recently turned to enzymes for help too. I think that the

physical aspect of dealing with an aggressive child--how it tears at

your soul--is what

really discourages me. Even when I know that I am doing the best that

can be done for him in that situation, the fact that I had to hold a

writhing, screaming,

raging child and use all the reserves in me just to keep my composure,

just totally zaps all my energy and hope....so I can relate.

Thanks for sharing your pain and your reality. I'm sorry that you have

to go through this. I'm sorry that my family does too. But tomorrow,

you

will have new breath, new strength and new stamina and you will move

forward for your son. Because you are his mom, and that is what moms

do best.

My prayers are with you.

I want for your son what I desperately want for mine---inner calm and

peace, freedom for anxiety and fear, restoration and healing......

Hang in there-

in Maine

Hi Sorry to be a bother. My son just had a total melt down and I need

to

write. I am by nature a very strong person but I just am at my whits

end.

The meltdown was precipitated by him throwing his dish in the sink,

which he

was corrected for. Well he just lost it. Rage behavior which i havent

seen

in a very long time. I tell you I am ready to call it quits. He is

pretty

strong and it took everything in me to restrain him. Boy he can pinch

and

knows all the right spots. He now has added shoving along with the

grabbing

of the wrists.

His teacher called today and told me school has been tough this week.

She

apologized for not writing as gets upset when she writes in his

book.

So she just told me that he has been anxious this week. I told her I

stopped the magnesium and I was not aware there was problems so now I

have

to look at what else is going on. She also has not given him any more

fruit

so its not from that. Could be the inositol which I am also stopping. I

have him crying in his room and Im crying in the other room. (I am not a

cryer)

Anyway, I think I will just do enzymes for now. Not add anything else.

His

menu at home hasnt changed either. Well thanks for the shoulder. Eileen
