"Nothing wrong" - Yep, I got that phrase and there were so many things wrong!!!
A roll of carpet fell on him and that's when he became this way or became worse? Did it hit him on head?
I agree that a child psychologist or a special pediatrician is called for.
Has his teacher or guidance counselor mentioned behavioral changes at school? If not, I would be surprised. Maybe talk to principal. Your son may be keeping something inside like being bullied at school or on the bus.
This could destroy a marriage, so if you work outside home, take some days or 1/2 days off to make phone calls, appointment or research the internet on this. This is too stressful and too important to let it go any longer. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but you'll be in my prayers.
sorry it took so long to reply,
yes a roll of carpet fell on him prior to that he wasn't as moody and definately not as aggressive but it seems like he just continues to get worse he will flip out and hit for no reason i now have holes in my walls from him he thinks everything is a joke when he is being disciplined.
Ahhhh... he seems in pain? That causes so much stress on them! Perhaps he needs a (re)evaluation by a chiropractor, orthopedist or Osteopathic doctor. Also since he hurts - how is his sleep? I know that pain can create a snowball effect of pain, inflammation, poor sleep, more pain and inflammation.
