S6 came in my room with a big beautiful smile on his face, cuddled up next to me and whispered "I wish our family was back together." I just cuddled him and said "I understand." Now he seems to be in a good mood.
I have to remember that as hard as it is, I can be here for them.
I am so dreading that I might have to tell my boys that we are separating. I hope and pray it doesn't come to that. In the meantime, they are such a great source of happiness for me right now, and a good distraction.

So? Apologize to him and tell him you made a mistake.Tell him what he did was wrong, but that you overreacted to it. Your still his mother and he shouldn't treat you that way. Think about how you want to handle it next time because there will be a next time.

It is so sad, he is out of control. Such a sweet and cuddly little guy but if anything is not the way he wants it, he screams and cries and cusses and threatens. It is so extreme right now. I will address it with the T tomorrow...just so much to handle at once.
I get it and I'm not freaking out, I just feel so bad for him. He feels so out of control.
Called a little family meeting and we discussed some other ways we can communicate. Went ok. The most effective thing was later when I asked the kids for their expert advice as to how someone might get a kid to calm down and communicate even when they're upset. S6 wanted to go first and said "feed him"...he said he needs to be fed every 80 minutes...LOL, I will take heed. We also discussed a kid at his school who was out of control who learned how to calm down and how he might have done it. It was great because it exhibited that it is possible...and S6 was so intrigued all year with that kid so it was a good example.
