Hi ...

Well I'd go by what he was like before diagnosis ... if he was grumpy then .. it's just made it more noticeable... if he's changed and more irritable or angry ... I'd say it's what he's going through mentally .. he's looking at a huge question mark .. jumping into the unknown ... 

A lot of us say it's like being on the scariest rollercoaster... highs of hope and crashing lows of overwhelming dispair and its really scary ....not knowing when or if we'll get off that ride ...

But saying that .. it is not an excuse to take it out on you ... I'd say when he starts take yourself out the way ... I know that's hard right now .. but even a walk or ride in the car .. tell him you will not be a post for him to yell at ... or be crule ... try not to loose your temper or yell .. understand why he's scared ... but in taking your self out the situation he will learn like a naughty child ... tantrums get him no where ... but soon as he's calm, listen and empathise... tell him you can understand this is scary for him .. and you'll help him through if he gives you a little space too and not take it out on you .. 

It's all about listening ... understanding it's hard on both of you .... then holding on together .. but not to have blasts of getting at you ... it's so hard now with lockdown ... but come on here and share when it gets hard ... your not alone ... Chrissie x
