I went shopping with my kids and a few friends yesterday. My23 year old son (the wounded Iraqi war vet) was with us. I know he is fell of anger and says innappropiate things in ALl the wrong places, but it has never been as bad as it was yesterday. We were in a store. A young lady probably of Muslim decent (I assume this because of her head wrap) walked by. My son came unglued.... F*cking Iraqi's (in a loud voice) They all need to be dead! The don't belong in our F*cking country... all the time staring with hate in his eyes at a young woman that was maybe... 20 yrs old. She just lowered her head and walked faster. I assumed she is accustomed to an occasional out burst like this???? He quickly went to the check out mumbling all the time... I want out of this @%$^@$ store. They serve rag heads like that.... I just want out! I just wanna KILL someone. At this point he wa quieter.. but still carrying on and still VERY angry. I was 2-3 minutes behind him... after getting our group together to leave. Once I got to the car he had regained his composure and acted like nothing happened. I asked if he was ok. He said "yeah, I'm fine they just don't deserve to here!" and he dropped it. We went on to the mall. He seemed fine and then after about an hour, he just snapped again. I have a 2 year old and she loves to play and run. She broke loose from my hand and ran about 15 feet ahead of me. laughing and giggling all the way. An older couple watching her, smiled, because she had made "the Great Escape" she kept turning around to see if I was chasing her.... the game was ON! My son came unglued again. He started screaming "F*cking heathen" she is sooo out of control! My daughter is a very good baby (far better then he was as a baby lol!) and once again I don't know what triggered him. He was out of controll again! He grabbed his head and just bent over in the middle of the mall. Then he stood up and walked away. I chased after him and said we were leaving and we would see him in the car. I went out of my way to say this calmly, unsure of how he would react. He said fine I don't want to be near you. I'll find my own way home.. We were over an hour away from home. I called around for about 20 minutes trying to get him a ride. No one was home. After about 30 minutes he came back and once again acted like nothing happened.
I've never seen him that bad! It scared me! He LOVES children! He has several kids that think the world of him. Could have he actually hurt his baby sister? What about these other kids? He watches them from time to time!
I want to figure out how to prevent these outbursts, but short of not taking him anywhere... I don't know how to do that. Any advice????? :wall:
