Today DS9 lost it when he was reminded he could not play certain computer games for a long time. He was on the floor yelling and than threw pillows in the house. He say he's bored and I don't want him to have fun.

When DS loses it it has such a big impact on me. I feel so stressed that I just want to watch tv or go to bed. It physically effects me.

I could have a plan for the evening that I want to do a project and then I just can't do anything. A walk helps but I can't always get a way by myself because I have to watch the kids. I wish I could be one of those people that get mad and clean all the closets. Any suggestions for this not overwhelming me so much physically?

I am doing many things to help this intense kid and he keeps improving but how do I deal? I feel much of his anger is displaced about school not on his level. I try to keep in mind it's not really all about me not measuring up as a Mom.

This venting helps a little. thanks.
