He's nearly 18, in counselling and has now been given prozac. Im wondering what I ever did so wrong. I've been a lone parent since he was 18 months old, a mutual split with his father who was messed up in the head and mentally abusive. Ds doesnt remember his dad and i being together. Ds and I had a lovely life, he's had everything he ever wanted, moneywise and love. He was such a sunny little kid, his moods started when I had his sister 11 years ago and it has gone from bad to worse. He told me tonight that when he was younger and he came back from his dads he would be anxious and not want to come back here....why? His dad is strict, has messed him around all his life with contact. I honestly dont get it. Sometimes I wonder if i've babied him too much and made him spoilt..he wont go anywhere alone, he wont do anything to help at home at all, i wait on him or he doesnt eat...when I was his age I had a mortgage and a child! Am I being a horrible mum or is he just a big baby?
