I cannot cope any longer with my 13 yr old. I have tried everything but nothing works. He has a temper problem which he admits to and flies in to a rage at the slightest thing, I have tried to look for help with this through CYPS but they just said it is a "teen" phase.
He comes home past his curfew knowing that he won't be allowed out the next day which he says doesn't bother him.
I have to lock his bedroom windows at night after finding out he had been sneaking out after I had gone to bed.
He steals money so I have had to buy a safe to keep my handbag and other things in.
He constantly lies.
He loses his temper very easily if he doesn't get his own way, he has even threatened to hit me before now and usually smashes something up.
I have tried EVERYTHING and nothing is working. His behaviour is usually good for 24-48hrs after his punishment and then goes back to being the same.
I don't know who to contact or ask for help. It is bringing me down and it's not fair on his younger brothers and sister and is starting to cause arguments between his dad and me.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
