Really struggling with raising my son. He has really bad anger issues. I do know exactly what they stem from and I truly am doing everything possible. Lately I dont even want to be around him (he’s 10) and I truly feel so bad for feeling that way. But it truly stresses me out all the fighting. He does see a therapist. Im at such a loss. I just want my happy and fun kid back. Any tips/advice?

If therapist isn’t helping, try a different therapist. They are Not all the same. And Martial Arts is also a really positive activity.
Uh oh I know exactly what he needs. Are you a single mom? He needs male attention get him in a sport a big brother or something where he can interact one on one with a male he can look up to.
They don’t come back - I miss the little boy who needed my hand and would grab my hand. Now he just turned into a teen ager. It’s hard and gets harder because they have own feelings, mind and ways. Their bodies are changing too. They have their own problems. I have my son in football, he loves football - it has really helped with him being able to release that anger on the field. He is angry for a reason mom? … you don’t want to block him out or have him do the same… communicate and come up with solutions earning money, hobbies programs to get a mentor from church or big brother big sister maybe. Maybe he needs more vitamins or melatonin or magnesium that could make them less energy etc.
Try a parasite cleanse and have him tested for vitamin deficiencies. You’d be surprised at how often these are the causes of behavioral issues
Studies have shown that violent video games can lead to aggressive behavior also.
