Big upset with difficult child. He was so looking forward to our move because of a girl he knows in that town. Now? Not so much. It seems my nephew, his own cousin, went behind his back and "took" the girl from him. Nice. Yeah.
So now Jacob is moody, angry, very easily set off. He's heartbroken and doesn't seem to care one way or the other about the move. Sunday will be our first night in the new place.
All of the stress and upheaval, and now heartbreak associated with the move have affected him in a way I don't know how to handle. He's being extremely demanding and very angry when he doesn't get what he wants. He seems to think that he can make all the decisions for both of us and for our new home - even for my home business. When I tell him it's not going to happen that way, he gets mad and starts yelling and calling me names. Not being exactly abusive, but very disrespectful. It's not physical at all, thankfully.
How do you handle this entitlement nonsense? I know losing my temper with him isn't the answer, but it's getting harder and harder to hold onto it.
