Abusive Autistic teenage son

NC.

I am at my wits end with my early Autistic 14 year old son. I just want to open the window and not look back. I have done everything!
Non violent resistant programme, Art Therapy, behaviour-list, psychotherapies, Horse therapy. But nothing I do is working. I have left an abusive relationship to be intertwined with other one?!!!

My DS is progressively getting worse, he threatens to kill me when angry, swears at me, hits me and tries to wrestle with me, slams the door, wants to destroy my house, squares up to me, calls me filth. I cannot put any boundary with him at the risk of him getting upset. Whenever I ignore his swearing, his attitude towards me (which a few of the courses tell me to do) he becomes worse and feels he can do what he pleases. I called the police once on him, and he stopped the behaviour for two weeks (longest ever) before starting all over again.

I have isolated myself from everyone due to this. I no longer speak to my friends, I just manage to go to work and I'm thinking of quitting that soon. We are moving out soon and I am dreading it as the new neighbours will hate us- we will be THAT family. You know what? I don't think there's any point to living anymore.

Hello OP, we are so sorry to hear about what you are going through.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

Very best wishes
