Anthony has hit his bedroom door enough that the upper hinge pulled out.  I tried a couple of times to just re-tighten the screws, but it became clear that would not be sufficient.  So, I unscrewed the hinge and have filled the holes with wood filler.  I have done this before on another door in the house--that was also due to Anthony being angry--and know I have to wait a while before I re-attach the hinge to the door frame, so I haven't done that yet with Anthony's door.  However, Anthony for some reason will not go to sleep without his door being at least mostly closed, so I had to lift up his door last night to try to place it in a manner that it did not appear to be "open".

I wrote previously in an at-wits'-end manner about Anthony being possessed.  As time goes on, I actually think there is something to that--not that he is "possessed" by another entity, of course, but it is almost as though he might have dissociative identity disorder (which I understand is now what used to be called "multiple personality disorder").  When he gets upset, he can get a look on his face that is distinctly unlike any other.  When he does get that look, he is solely and rather fiercely intent on hurting those around him.  Nothing can dissuade him from that purpose.  I have tried talking to him in such instances to see if I can "reason" with him--which I am aware might be a ludicrous idea from the start--but there is no stopping his single-minded focus until either a certain amount of time has passed or someone has broken that focus by causing him considerable discomfort. 

I certainly wish I understood more about him.  When dealing with Anthony, it is all too often like being in a parallel dimension where the rules that work in the world I am accustomed to don't apply.  I am constantly left wondering if I am doing things the right way with regard to him.
