I'm so tired of going through all this. Everythime I talk to him I get really depressed afterwards. I know it's not my fault but I still feel like it is. He's the abuser. But it's hard to deal with knowing that it's my son. I just wish once he would show that he cares. I love him so much and hate having to have him locked up but I know that if I didn't he would kill me. How do I deal with this? Sometimes I just wish that I didn't hear from him. Does that make me a bad Mom? I'm sorry I needed to let some of this out.

You have to protect yourself. That doesn't make you a bad mom. Being abused by your own son would be so hard. I don't know how I would deal with that. Vent as much as you need to here. Sometimes it helps to get it out there, especially where you can see it spelled out and also get support. You're not alone. I work with youth with behavior problems, and many of them are sent to us because they are too dangerous to stay with their parents.

No...It does not make you a bad mom. He abused you. He is the one who made the relationship this way. You need to take care of yourself. I know it still feels like your fault and I wish I could change that. If he is a threat to you, you have every right to cut off contact with him. He made the choice.
