[QUOTE="busywend, post: 192838, member: 391"] Hex gave great advice. You are not doing anything wrong. But, you are certainly being verbally abused by your son. It has to stop or you will lose yourself. Give up the bright future thing. He will do what he wants to do. Right? He will be only as successful as HE wants to be. It is not in your control to get him a bright future. For this kid I would be doing bare minimum. Clothing, shelter, food, school. No extra rides until he starts being respectful. No $80 sneakers until he can be respectful. You are going to have to demand it and I do not mean verbally demand it. Your actions must command how you will be treated. He has got to be bringing you so far down. UGH! Just walk away. When he starts to be disrespectful leave the room. If he does it in the car. Shut down and say no more. When he starts to ask why you are not responding just tell him you do not interact with people if they are disrespectful to you. Heck tell him it is the new you. You have decided no more. You have to do it now. In a couple years his anger will only grow. [/QUOTE]
