It is coming form my viewpoint as a mother and as an aunt to your tornado whom I love dearly and as a sister. Yes, he is hard to handle and takes more energy than is fair and to say that you are good for it may feel like a sentence that is unfair, overwhelming and never ending.

I have been hurt physically and emotionally. The physical pain is not worse than the emotional pain. I have spent 23 years avoiding the tantrums, in order for us all to have some peace.
