My toddler turned into an absolute dick

There’s no other way to put it. I am so fucking miserable. He is just 3 last week and for the last 3 weeks he’s turned into a complete dick. He was never like this before.

I thought it was illness at first like a virus. It’s clearly not. He is honestly awful. I know he’s just a child and I’m the adult but how the fuck am I supposed to handle this? I have zero support from his awful father who sees him once a week and have a very full on job.

I am so so so unhappy and don’t know how to help him. He lies on the floor screaming for what seems like an hour but more like 30 mins.

How you respond to tantrums is going to make you or break you. What are you currently doing?

Mine too, no advice but solidarity. She barks orders at me, shrieks and screams at me, says ‘I want’ CONSTANTLY, whines and moans.

She was delightful until she turned two and then became a bit more feisty. Right now I’m struggling to see the positives as she’s so demanding. Won’t walk, won’t do bloody anything.
