Seriously testing my ability as a parent

[Guest guest]

And my sanity....

Do you find, or have you found that when your children are going through growth

spurts they completely test your sanity...ability as parents, as people? I am

obviously venting right now...but, I am exhausted. He is so unhappy right

now...and loud, oh my. He has been so angry, the angry outbursts are killing

me. He will yell and scream....and never wants to talk about anything. Makes

life hell with taking meds, eating, getting his way, behaviour socially...is

pushing me to my limits. He has been very manipulative in public, because he

knows when and where I will discipline, and when and where I can't. He won't

sleep at night. The motormouth is constant right now....

I am going to lose my mind!!!! Sorry - please, somebody tell me I'm not crazy,

and how long it's going to last...because he can't get in to see his doctor

until next week.
