I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place in regards to my teenager....He is 15 and he is ADHD and that is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder....we actually both my boys have it....My teen has been tested and retested and retested, so it's not like some quack is telling me this....Anyway, we had a blow up last night and I can't take anymore....I walk on egg shells around him, doing my best not to make him mad.....or if he asks for something he pesters until he gets what he wants.....He has called me the "B" word and this whole situation hurts....I am a single parent and he doesn't know his father....I am getting married by the end of the year and my boys are really excited about him and us getting married......I know that will help.........He was suppose to stay the night with a friend and then he shows up at 12:30 am and I question what happened he said someone didn't tell the father about myson staying the night so they were playing board games and he lost track of time and then he came home.....(and no I don't let him do what he wants.....and no I am not a bad parent) I am desperate for prayer on how to handle this problem....I am unsure of how to talk to you.......He thinks I am stupid and he has called me a loser..........I am deeply saddened that I feel like I have lost the connection with him.....I work with teens and I relate well with them, but when it comes to my children, no way am I cool....I feel helpless and that hope is lost........He tells me to get rid of him, send him away to foster care or something like that..........I am having a hard time because I don't want to act out of anger or react in a negetive way.......I get frozen when there is a confrontation between us.......and when for example he is reading over my shoulder what I am typing and I tell him thats rude and not to do that.........He flips out and says "why? You do that to me why huh why why {I have no response} yeah huh why...no answer yeah thats what I thought" I know some of this is because of him being a teenager and imature but where and how do I draw the line.....He has been getting physical with his brother and he has gotten in trouble before about that.....So not only and I defending and protecting myself I have to do the same with joey.....and that is really upsetting and so very stressfull for me.....My parents help out as much as they can, but I still feel like I am losing my mind.....If you have decided to respond to this post please don't judge me or condem or do anything negative in anyway because I already get that from my kids and that is not constructive.....If you have something to say to help Ideas or what ever please post just becareful because I am in a very stressful time in my life.....with much love and respect........mama
