[QUOTE="tbod, post: 687553, member: 20297"] This all means a ton to me!!. Thank you.!! Just don't know what to do anymore. We've exhausted all the options over the last 10 years or so. His psychologist basically said today..after I had suggested some kind of intense pyscho-therapy..whatever that entails...and he stated...for that to work...that the therapy has to be able to reach him at a deep enough level..where he "gets it" and can really apply it. And he stated that where my son is operating..is not where this kind of help will take hold. My son runs off of impulse mostly...doesn't have those deep empathetic thoughts...where he could begin to really connect...and deeply understand whats needed. Intellectually, my son could parrot back to you what his issues are..and what he needs to do to deal with his impulsive and often angry responses...but when it comes to applying all of the help he's received....when in the moment..he turns all of that off in favor of the angry and/or impulsive response. So, all I see is a train wreck waiting to happen. I agree with you advice. [/QUOTE]
