My job as a parent was to teach life lessons...among those are the respect DUE to me as her parent, the lesson of "if you can't say something nice, shut the fuck up" lol ok, maybe not those exact words, and give back to the world far more than you take.
Only you know what you can take from your child, but even if he is having a tough time, or is under stress...there is no excuse for abusive behavior towards you. When you had your conversation with him did you address his behavior toward you? Did you let him know it wasn't acceptable?
I will keep you in my thoughts; it sounds like he has hurt you with his disrespect. Blessings to you.  |
I did, I addressed his behavior. He didn't say anything. I would have never treated my parents the way he treats me. I know I wasn't perfect but damn....
On a good note, my other boys don't treat me badly. Just him.
