[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 196352, member: 3419"] Oh, how awful. I feel for you. You've already gotten some great ideas here. I'm not sure what to add, except that your leaving will not help, it will make things worse. Your son needs consistency. He needs you. And there are even quotes on the Internet and items you can buy that say, "If your child hasn't said 'I hate you' at least once, you're not doing something right." Tough to hear, but oh, so true. You will get to the bottom of the headaches. It may end up that your son ends up on an anti-anxiety medication and starts taking yoga and gets Cs and Ds in all his classes. Hey, whatever works. Maybe when things calm down, you can apologize for losing your temper and you can tell him you'd like to chat, and to change some rules in the house. Ask for his input. Do NOT tell him or your other kids that you feel like you're a bad mom. Don't belittle yourself and don't put yourself in a vulnerable position. They will use it as ammunition, sorry to say. I wish I could send you a massage over the DSL line. {{hugs}} P.S. Don't forget to make a chiro appointment. [/QUOTE]
