Parenting II

[new girl]

I'm having a problem with my 14 year old son, aside from the normal teenager "i'm not interested in what your saying" stuff, he seems to be quiet angry most of the time, I know he is very jealous of his brothers who play football, (he can't because of a neck injury) and feels that football is all his father is interested in, he has no patience with his brothers of father and only communicates with me and even that is a struggle, he seems to have been angry since birth. he has a lot of good points but seems very hard to hide those, how can you help someone who doesn't want to be helped

Hello NG
You might like to consider checking out Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg work with Non-violent Communication he has a number of books and audio and DVD learning tools to consider getting a fuller understanding- I got in to CNVC several years ago to help me communicate better with My Mum- who as had anger issues all my life- after learning and using the cnvc model  I have been able to rebuild my relationship with my mum and we have become friends and fighting is no longer apart of our relationship-  so it might be worth your time and consideration.#

Hey, I just heard about non-violent communication one week ago for the first time.
Bought a DVD of Marshall Rosenberg right away - it is very very interesting!!
