l too have had the monster a very long time.l really hope he doesn't have it but when he went from the Army Nat'l Gaurd too Regular Army he wasn't in it a year before they gave him a dishonorable discharge.He won't say what happened we think it has to do with his Rage and inability to cope

l guess we are going to have to go see him and talk to him ourselves and get some answers. I know he had a tough child hood we all do but l think he is wired differently than his siblings and just can't figure out how to deal with intense stress and pain so it comes out as rage; which is why l thought it might be neurological in nature

we are trying too but he doesn't tell us much he has a room mate that keeps us in formed about his episodes but even he is at a loss as to what is going on

I will tell you this, they say I am susideal because I take too many risks. When I was 16 I joined the Army and went to Nam and before you say I did not tell them. At after the Army I worked for the Prison chasing convicts who escaped. I did get a Master's degree in Psychology and then worked with homeless people on the street and in shelters. I was told every job I have had has put my life in danger. I never cared if I died it will come one day and yes I feel anger everyday but control it.

we are trying to cover all the bases but even as a child Ron our son always had a Donald Duck type temper that he would lose on Regular basis and he was so extremely hyper in third grade he couldn't focus or sit still. Ritilan helped hem too calm down but he s definitely wired differently which could still be neurological
