I've nc but am a regular.
I'm a single parent to a teen.
Had our ups and downs but recently much more downs.
Kicking off to point of things being thrown, a door broken, screaming shouting.
Kicked off again today. I've talked, discussed, tried to understand why.
I've also grounded, removed pocket money, devices, treats and privileges.
I've spoken to school but my teen won't engage.
Today it's all kicked off again, but I'll admit it was me had enough (an issue that they are already on punishment for they did again AND lying about it).
I've said terrible things I can never take back (so have they).
I've no support (teen won't go to dr) in terms of me saying to my GP they just brush it off as 'typical teen stress'.
No family or friends nearby and don't want to bother them today especially as my 2 closest friends have recently lost their dad's so today tough for them anyway if anything I feel shit for not supporting them today.
I'm currently in a local cafe trying to be invisible because staying at home impossible (teen just keeps getting in my face screaming at me).
I really really don't know what to do.
