Hey @Possum71 ,
Thank you for reaching out about what's been happening with your son, and welcome again to the parents' community. It would be so upsetting to experience these violent outbursts from your son which can go on for over an hour. It's really good to hear you have reached out for support from professionals around this. Despite their lack of findings, did you find the support of your son's treating team helpful at all?
It would be really exhausting having these "booms" flare up again, has anything changed which could be linked to this?
Just a heads up we'll be sending you an email soon to check in. In the meantime, it might be helpful to seek support from parentline or 1800 respect. We also have a discussion about questions related to puberty here, and an article about creating boundaries and about anger and teens.
This is a lot to be dealing with as well, so I wanted to check in with how you and your son's father were feeling and if you had any support yourselves around this?
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
