Walking around all the time full of anger isn't good either. But it can be a catalyst to saying, No More. To saying I love my child and because I love my child I will no longer contribute to his self-defeat. And more importantly a catalyst to saying that you value yourself and that you are entitled to be treated with respect and honesty. That you are entitled to peace.
As painful as it is, at this point in your life the only way you're going to find peace is to refuse to take on the problems of your difficult child. Let him own his problems.
