[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 380398, member: 3930"] I am so sorry. I feel your pain. Mine is 8 and does this also. I would even welcome being called dummy or stupid rather than the words my son uses. It is exhausting for sure. It wears you down. It is verbal abuse. It has to stop. The other members have given you some good advice. When I ignore my son and leave the room he follows me, he gets in my face, he threatens me by putting his hands up like he is going to hit me - actually he does hit and kick me sometimes. Sometimes I do engage him (which I shouldn't) and I get right back in his face and tell him he is NOT going to talk to me like that - but he does. And the look in his eyes when I do that is like he is shocked or something like how can you be so mean to me - what did I do. Sometimes I think he needs to have a full blown melt down with us restraining him for him to get that energy out and then he calms down like nothing happened. It takes along time though - over an hour of him being held. I realize you can't do that considering how big your son is. I really worry about my son getting older/bigger and us not being able to restrain him. Hang in there - you have found a good place with good people to give you support and advice.
