I can’t carry on like this anymore.

My life is a mess.

My son is aggressive, angry, and doing stupid shit at school. He is so explosive that I feel like I’m walking on eggshells constantly. He’s so difficult, argumentative and hard work that I’m exhausted.

my husband and I seem to disagree about everything to do with our child. He is shattered and at the end of his rope and so am I. I’m wondering if ds has adhd and want to get it looked into, and husband is classing it as a ‘mental health condition’ (wrong) and saying he doesn’t think it will help our son to be saddled with a diagnosis.

my husband also has severe health anxiety that he refuses to get help with.

im exhausted and angry that my life has turned out this way. I can’t do this anymore. I try endlessly to keep the peace and take care of everyone in the house but I’m drained. I literally don’t want to live anymore.

How old is he?
Do you find any moments of peace or connection with him?
Would a school move be possible for a fresh start?

He is 14. And yes we do have fun and lots of connection. Have looked at a school love but worried that will affect his mental health.

You're dealing with a lot. You might find this helpful. Young Minds, PEGS and Family Lives all have helplines and can provide advice and support.

You and your husband need to sort yourselves out because your inability to communicate could be contributing to the situation.

Does he calm down with caffeine?

Diagnosis is bloody important. Especially ADHD which has meds available.
