My bouncing baby boy just turned 16 this past Nov. and I'm to the point now I'm ready to throw him under a bus!!! NOT that I am, just saying. I'm also so incredibly tired of ppl telling me its the "teenage" years, well thts hogwash to me because tht doesn't give him the right to be my daddy and tell me who I should/can date and call me names like dummy and everything else he feels like. Now he's saying "damn" and "hell" like nothing, and he says its ok because these words are in the bible?!?! I mean geez he may as well drop the F bomb As of the other night he told me he's cutting himself again because he life fell apart since we were middle class and now we're "lower" class. Told him he needs to seek therapy but doesn't want to do tht at all. I have tried to be the best mom I could but it's to the point now I cant wait for his 18th bday so I can have my freedom!!! I love him yes, but haven't liked him since he was 12. I was so distraught with him among other things this past July tht I was hospitilized for my depression and I swore I'd love myself to NEVER let tht happen again! I just don't know anymore...any other moms out there can relate?? Thx 4 listening.
