There's a reason for his rage...
...the trick is determining if it is biological or circumstantial or both. I'd bet my paycheck that if someone got him to open-up, they'd find substantial anxiety inside of him. The challenge for you is to slowly get him to trust you with his feelings. One way to do this, is as wigopa suggested, make plans for shared, enriching experiences with him. And as he learns that you are his friend and not his enemy, he'll start to open up. I may be wrong, but, it's worth a try. Good luck with that.

So sorry to hear this..My daughter is nine and she has had a really hard time in school because the kids pick on her non-stop about her weight, that she wears glasses and that she talks with the teacher soo much...(She is five foot tall and about 100 pounds..)I would have thought that they wouldn't pick on her like they do..But I realize that there is jealousy..I found that consuling does help..as well as finding something to share between the two of you..A chance to be firends not just mother and son..maybe take trips or go places of his interest so that he doesn't have the energy like that to spend on the household items..and he looks forward to his trips with you..But take him to counseling for sure so that he can work on his temper a bit before he goes..You both will be in my prayers..I hope things right themselves soon..Take care.

So sorry you are going through this. It's so hard for a single mother ..
and, unfortunately, more and more common these days. If he is being violent, you can call the police and have them put the fear of God in him. Otherwise, you are on your own. I agree with Sam, counseling may be an option if you can afford it. Best wishes to you

I am so sorry! Counseling may be an option! Did you see the ABC poem. It may be one that you might want to dabble with. How is he double nonet coming? sam
